Carte Magic Mental Modulation

Mental Modulation is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

This spell costs {1} less to cast during your turn. Tap target artifact or creature. Draw a card.

How it works : Mental Modulation

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    If the target permanent is an illegal target as Mental Modulation tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won’t draw a card.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you’re paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
