Rules for this card

  • “Imprint” used to be a keyword ability. It is now an ability word and has no rules meaning. All cards printed with the imprint keyword have received errata in the Oracle card reference.

Rulings (6)

  • Wizards of the Coast
    Spells you cast that share multiple card types with the exiled card still cost just 2 less to cast. They don't get a greater cost reduction.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    Semblance Anvil takes the total cost to cast a spell into account, not just its mana cost. This includes additional costs (such as kicker) and alternative costs (such as evoke). It also includes cost increases from other sources (such as Lodestone Golem's ability).
  • Wizards of the Coast
    Semblance Anvil's cost reduction effect is mandatory.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    Semblance Anvil can reduce the amount you pay for a spell's cost that includes X. For example, Blaze is a sorcery that costs XR. If the card exiled with Semblance Anvil is a sorcery, and you want to cast Blaze with X equal to 5, you'll have to pay only 3R. This is true even if the ability states that X must be paid with a certain color of mana (as Drain Life does).
  • Wizards of the Coast
    Semblance Anvil won't affect the part of a spell's cost represented by colored mana symbols. For example, a spell that normally costs 1U to cast would cost U if it shared a card type with the exiled card.
  • Wizards of the Coast
    Artifact, battle, creature, enchantment, instant, kindred, planeswalker, and sorcery are card types.
