Gameplay

Instant — Trap

If exactly one creature is attacking, you may pay {W} rather than pay this spell's mana cost. Destroy target attacking creature without flying.

Each spike is poisoned—the trapmaker's idea of mercy.

Casting a Trap by paying its alternative cost doesn't change its mana cost or mana value. The only difference is the cost you actually pay.

2009-10-01wotc

You may ignore a Trap's alternative cost condition and simply cast it for its normal mana cost. This is true even if its alternative cost condition has been met.

2009-10-01wotc

Effects that increase or reduce the cost to cast a Trap will apply to whichever cost you chose to pay.
