Graven Lore rulings
If you cast Graven Lore without spending snow mana, you’ll just draw three cards.
If Graven Lore is copied, no mana was spent to cast the copy, so you’ll just draw three cards.
Snow is a supertype, not a card type. It has no rules meaning or function by itself, but spells and abilities may refer to it.
The
symbol is a generic mana symbol. It represents a cost that can be paid by one mana that was produced by a snow source. That mana can be any color or colorless.
Snow isn’t a type of mana. If an effect says you may spend mana as though it were any type, you can’t pay for
using mana that wasn’t produced by a snow source.
Some cards have additional effects for each
spent to cast them. You can cast these spells even if you don’t spend any snow mana to cast them; their additional effects simply won’t do anything.
The Kaldheim set doesn’t have any cards with mana costs that include
, but some previous sets do. If an effect says such a spell costs
less to cast, that reduction doesn’t apply to any
costs. This is also true for activated abilities that include
in their activation costs and effects that reduce those costs.
Graven Lore keyword rules
Scry Rule 701.18
To “scry N” means to look at the top N cards of your library, then put any number of them on the bottom of your library in any order and the rest on top of your library in any order.
If a player is instructed to scry 0, no scry event occurs. Abilities that trigger whenever a player scries won’t trigger.
If multiple players scry at once, each of those players looks at the top cards of their library at the same time. Those players decide in APNAP order (see rule ) where to put those cards, then those cards move at the same time.
An ability that triggers whenever a player scries triggers after the process described in rule is complete, even if some or all of those actions were impossible.
