Ezreal, Prodigy
Which costs does Ezreal reduce?
Ezreal reduces only optional additional costs you choose to pay. These costs use both the word "may" and the exact phrase "as an additional cost."[356.2.b.1] Accelerate and Repeat are keyworded optional additional costs, so Ezreal reduces them too.[805.1.a][820.1.d]
Mandatory additional costs are not optional because they omit "may,"[356.2.a.1] and payments made while carrying out an effect are not additional costs to play that card. Ezreal does not reduce either kind of payment.
Example
Blast Corps Cadet says "You may pay 1 as an additional cost to play me."
Ezreal can reduce that optional additional cost to either 1 or
.
By contrast, Ezreal does not reduce Cruel Patron's mandatory cost to kill a friendly unit or the 2 an opponent may pay during Hard Bargain's effect.
Ezreal does reduce Hard Bargain's separate Repeat cost.
