Wizards of the CoastTo determine Sunderflock's total cost, start with the mana cost (or an alternative cost if another card's effect allows you to pay one instead), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. Sunderflock's mana value remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
