Oracle Text

If three or more creatures are attacking, you may pay {U} rather than pay this spell's mana cost.

Attacking creatures get -3/-0 until end of turn.

Suddenly, Zurdi didn't care about treasure, glory, food . . . or the drakes circling above.

10/1/2009·wotc

Effects that increase or reduce the cost to cast a Trap will apply to whichever cost you chose to pay.

10/1/2009·wotc

Casting a Trap by paying its alternative cost doesn't change its mana cost or mana value. The only difference is the cost you actually pay.

10/1/2009·wotc

You may ignore a Trap's alternative cost condition and simply cast it for its normal mana cost. This is true even if its alternative cost condition has been met.
