Mana Cost Adjustments

New • 18 Aug 2022 • Asked by mtgedhiction • 46 Comments

Hey simple question that possibly needs a complicated answer, what is the need for a mechanically identical card, but with a lower mana cost? I.e Counterspell and Cancel or Sunbond and Light of Promise?

Effects don’t always have to be at the same power level. We tend to push cards when they are core to a set’s identity and pull back when they’re not.
