Official notes

Rulings

4
  1. Wizards of the Coast

    Arcane Melee can’t reduce the colored mana requirement of an instant or sorcery spell.

  2. Wizards of the Coast

    If there are additional costs to cast a spell, such as a kicker cost or a cost imposed by another effect (such as Thalia, Guardian of Thraben’s ability), apply those increases before applying cost reductions.

  3. Wizards of the Coast

    Arcane Melee can reduce alternative costs such as miracle costs.

  4. Wizards of the Coast

    The cost to cast an instant or sorcery spell with one generic mana in its mana cost will be reduced by {1}. For example, an instant spell with a mana cost of {1}{G} would cost {G} to cast.
