**'''702.47a''' Offering is a static ability of a card that functions in any zone from which the card can be cast. “[Subtype] offering” means “You may cast this card any time you could cast an instant by sacrificing a [subtype] permanent. If you do, the total cost to cast this card is reduced by the sacrificed permanent’s mana cost.”
**'''702.47b''' The permanent is sacrificed at the same time the spell is announced (see rule 601.2a). The total cost of the spell is reduced by the sacrificed permanent’s mana cost (see rule 601.2e).
**'''702.47c''' Generic mana in the sacrificed permanent’s mana cost reduces generic mana in the total cost to cast the card with offering. Colored mana in the sacrificed permanent’s mana cost reduces mana of the same color in the total cost to cast the card with offering. Colored mana in the sacrificed permanent’s mana cost that doesn’t match colored mana in the colored mana cost of the card with offering, or is in excess of the card’s colored mana cost, reduces that much generic mana in the total cost.

{{CR|Khans of Tarkir|*'''601.2a''' The player announces that he or she is casting the spell. That card (or that copy of a card) moves from where it is to the stack. It becomes the topmost object on the stack. It has all the characteristics of the card (or the copy of a card) associated with it, and that player becomes its controller. The spell remains on the stack until it's countered, it resolves, or an effect moves it elsewhere.
*'''601.2e''' The player determines the total cost of the spell. Usually this is just the mana cost. Some spells have additional or alternative costs. Some effects may increase or reduce the cost to pay, or may provide other alternative costs. Costs may include paying mana, tapping permanents, sacrificing permanents, discarding cards, and so on. The total cost is the mana cost or alternative cost (as determined in rule 601.2b), plus all additional costs and cost increases, and minus all cost reductions. If the mana component of the total cost is reduced to nothing by cost reduction effects, it is considered to be {{0}}. It can't be reduced to less than {{0}} Once the total cost is determined, any effects that directly affect the total cost are applied. Then the resulting total cost becomes "locked in." If effects would change the total cost after this time, they have no effect.

Rulings

  • Sacrificing the creature for the offering is part of the announcement of the spell. No player has priority to respond to an offering until after the creature spell is on the stack.
  • You may sacrifice only one creature when using the offering ability. Multiple sacrifices aren't allowed.
  • Effects that don't allow a player to play creatures also stop a player from using the offering ability.
  • Using the offering ability changes the normal result when calculating total costs [409.1f].
  • With [Object] offering, you may sacrifice an [Object] with a converted mana cost of 0. You have to pay the full mana cost for the Patron, but this allows you to play it whenever you could play an instant.
  • Colorless mana in the sacrificed creature's mana cost can only reduce generic costs. Colored mana in the sacrificed creature's mana cost reduces colored then generic costs. For example, offering a Fox that costs {W}{W}{W}{W} would reduce Patron of the Kitsune ({4}{W}{W}) to {2}. Offering a Fox that costs {5}{W} would reduce Patron of the Kitsune to {W}.
  • The cost reduction is calculated after cost increases. A Patron of the Kitsune with a Sphere of Resistance in play would cost {5}{W}{W}. Offering a Fox with a mana cost of {5}{W}{W} would cover all of the Patron's cost to play.
  • Offering reduces the total cost of a spell. The converted mana cost of the spell remains the same.
  • The creatures with the offering ability are Patron of the Akki, Patron of the Kitsune, Patron of the Moon, Patron of the Nezumi, and Patron of the Orochi.
