Council of the Absolute

Creature — Human Advisor 2WU
2/4
As Council of the Absolute enters the battlefield, name a card other than a creature or land card.
Your opponents can’t cast cards with the chosen name.
Spells with the chosen name you cast cost {2} less to cast.



The last ability can’t reduce the colored mana requirement of a spell.

If there are additional costs to cast the spell, such as kicker costs, apply those increases before applying cost reductions.

The last ability can reduce alternative costs such as overload costs.

If a spell with the chosen name includes one generic mana in its cost to cast, that cost will be reduced by 1.

You can name either half of a split card, but not both. If you name half of a split card, your opponents can cast the other half. (This is a recent rules change.) If that split card has fuse, your opponents can’t cast that card as a fused split card.

If you name half of a split card with fuse, and then you cast both halves, the cost reduction will apply to the total cost of the spell. This is true even if the half with the chosen name requires only colored mana to cast.
