Carte Magic Mycosynth Golem

Mycosynth Golem 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

Affinity for artifacts (This spell costs {1} less to cast for each artifact you control.) Artifact creature spells you cast have affinity for artifacts. (They cost {1} less to cast for each artifact you control.)

How it works : Mycosynth Golem

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    The spells gain affinity for artifacts as they’re put onto the stack. They don’t have the ability while they’re cards in your hand.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If Mycosynth Golem is sacrificed as part of the cost to cast a spell, the cost reduction will already be locked in, and the cost won’t be increased.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    Two or more instances of the affinity ability are cumulative, even if they’re both affinity for the same thing.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
