Pitfall Trap Rules Text & Legality

Pitfall 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.

Pitfall Trap is legal in Modern, Legacy, Commander and Pauper, and not legal in Standard and Pioneer.

Pitfall Trap Rulings

  • Oct 1, 2009

    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.

  • Oct 1, 2009

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

  • Oct 1, 2009

    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.
