Oswald fiddlebender

So if you use Oswald Fiddlebender and have Foundry inspector does foundry inspect impact your cards in your deck? as an example can you sac a ingenuity engine (7 mana) for a phyrexian triniform (9 mana)

[ApothecaryGeist]

The mana value of a card is always what is printed on it.


Foundry Inspector reduces the amount that you will actually pay.  (Just as Commander tax will increase what you pay for your commander.)  The mana value of Phyrexian Triniform is always 9.

Another question about Oswald fiddlebender Is his ability effected by lucky clover?

[WWolfe]

Lucky Clover refers to things like the Swift End part of Murderous Rider // Swift End. It has nothing to do with Oswald's ability.

Okay thank you! I was just wondering since it said only activate as a sorcery so that is why I asked

That wording basically just means "Activate this only during your own main phases while nothing is on the stack". It isn't actually a sorcery of any sort itself.
