2. Dragonlord's Servant (Creature — Dragon, gives mana for Dragons)
3. Embereth Shieldbreaker (Red, adventure creature, enters battlefield effect)

    Rules

  • Dragonlord's Servant can't reduce the colored mana requirement of a Dragon spell you cast.
  • If there are any additional costs to cast a Dragon spell, apply those before applying Dragonlord's Servant and any other cost reductions.
  • The ability can apply to alternative costs to cast a Dragon spell.
  • To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
  • Dragonlord's Servant's ability can't reduce the amount of colored mana you pay for a spell. It reduces only the generic mana component of that spell.
  • Dragonlord's Servant's ability doesn't change the mana cost or mana value of any spell. It changes only the total cost you pay to cast Dragon spells.

  • If you can't target any opponent with Rakdos Firewheeler's ability, the ability doesn't go on the stack. You can't have it deal 2 damage to any creature or planeswalker. On the other hand, if you do choose two legal targets but either target is illegal when the ability tries to resolve, the other is still affected as appropriate.

    Undercity // The Initiative

    Abilities/Keywords

    Defender

    Rules

  • A player who currently has the initiative may take the initiative again. This causes that player to venture into Undercity again, but does not cause them to have multiple initiative designations.
  • If the player with the initiative leaves the game, the active player takes the initiative at the same time that player leaves the game. If the active player is leaving the game or if there is no active player, the next player in turn order takes the initiative.
  • If you aren’t in a dungeon when instructed to venture into Undercity, you will put Undercity into the command zone and move your venture marker to Secret Entrance (the first room).
  • If you’re already in a dungeon when instructed to venture into Undercity, you move to the next room of that dungeon. If you are already in the last room, you will complete that dungeon and start Undercity. This is true whether you’re already in Undercity or any other dungeon.
  • In a Two-Headed Giant game, if both players on a team deal combat damage to the player that has the initiative at the same time, the player with the initiative will choose the order of the triggered abilities. Then, as those abilities resolve, one team member takes the initiative (and ventures into Undercity) and then the other team member does the same. The last player to take the initiative keeps it until the initiative changes again.
  • Only one player can have the initiative at a time. As one player takes the initiative, any other player that had the initiative ceases to have it.
  • Similarly, when instructed to venture into Undercity, you can’t start a dungeon that isn’t Undercity.
  • The initiative is a designation a player can have. A player with the initiative designation is said to “have the initiative.” The initiative carries two inherent rules. First, whenever a player takes the initiative, and at the beginning of the upkeep of the player with the initiative, that player ventures into Undercity. Second, whenever one or more creatures a player controls deal combat damage to the player who has the initiative, the first player takes the initiative. Also, some abilities will refer to having the initiative and provide other benefits.
  • There is no initiative in a game until an effect instructs a player to take the initiative. Once a player is instructed to do this, they have the initiative until another player takes the initiative.
  • You cannot venture into Undercity unless instructed to do so, either because you have the initiative at the beginning of your upkeep or because you take the initiative. Notably, if you aren’t in a dungeon and an effect instructs you to venture into the dungeon (not venture into Undercity), you can’t start Undercity.
