  • curprev 16:5716:57, 5 September 2023 Jerodast talk contribs 7,406 bytes −16 rephrased cost modifier section to de-emphasize additional costs, clarifying they are only one of several kinds of modifiers Tag: Source edit

  • curprev 08:0008:00, 28 March 2023 Jerodast talk contribs 7,422 bytes +72 contrasting "only one alternative" more sharply to "any number of modifications" Tag: Source edit
  • curprev 07:5707:57, 28 March 2023 Jerodast talk contribs 7,350 bytes +430 Replaced Fling example with crew since the variable number of creatures in the cost makes it extra illustrative about the strict "pay in full" rule. Not sure if too non-wiki-ish but turned a few complex parts into list items. Moved the two notes about counterintuitive total costs (mana costs on free spells/mana cost changing without changing) into the same paragraph. Tag: Source edit
  • curprev 07:2907:29, 28 March 2023 Jerodast talk contribs 6,920 bytes +40 Changed examples to more common/realistic ones. I'd thought earlier that there were cool replacement effects that switched which player "takes" an action that might apply to costs, but those seem to be universally "instead of something good happening to them..." instead of "instead of something bad happening to you..." so not very relevant to paying costs. Went with a Vizier of Remedies/Vorinclex style effect instead as a the "counterintuitive example". Tag: Source edit

  • curprev 05:3805:38, 1 January 2022 Jerodast talk contribs 6,902 bytes +273 a lot of rulings point this out Tag: Source edit
  • curprev 05:2305:23, 1 January 2022 Jerodast talk contribs m 6,629 bytes +4 not sure if it's an actual minus but at least it's not a hyphen Tag: Source edit
  • curprev 05:1905:19, 1 January 2022 Jerodast talk contribs 6,625 bytes +442 I hope this table looks good in all formats, I think it's helpful to just have a step by step equation to distinguish the oft-confused mana cost, alternative cost, and additional costs. Tag: Source edit

26 November 2021

  • curprev 00:0600:06, 26 November 2021 Jerodast talk contribs 6,184 bytes +366 Separated "when it can/can't be paid" discussion to its own section and refined what remained in the lead. Small edits to Total cost section. Tag: Source edit

25 November 2021

  • curprev 23:4623:46, 25 November 2021 Jerodast talk contribs 5,818 bytes +5,474 Gave an overview of the cost-paying process and principles. This is the only page for cost as a general concept rather than more specific card abilities that have costs, and "Pay" redirects here also, so it seems appropriate to have an overview here.
