Goblin Electromancer and Splice
Asked by Akromathia 5 years ago
The discount that Goblin Electromancer gives to Sorc and Inst, does apply to splice effects, like in Glacial Ray ?
Thank you
Goblin Electromancer specifically discounts instants and sorceries that you cast.
Splice onto Arcane is not casting a spell, it's adding its effects to another spell you've already cast (which, if an instant or sorcery, would already get the discount from Electromancer).

Note, if you have enough Goblin Electromancer s on the field, you can eventually reduce the cost of a splice effect. For example, if you have two of the goblins out and splice a Glacial Ray onto another Glacial Ray , it will cost RR instead of 1RR. Though, if you only have one goblin, it will still cost 1RR. This is because the splice becomes an additional cost and is part of the total casting cost of the card, but it is not separate to the spell.
702.46a and 601.2f are the relevant rules.

Unfortunately, if you were using the Splice onto Arcane ability on Glacial Ray , Goblin Electromancer would only reduce the cost of the arcane spell you were splicing it onto, but not the Glacial Ray itself.
