Welcome back Rob.

Thanks for the deckbuilder sticky.

Thank No problem.

I still check the forum regularly, just there's often not much I can say not being an active player in 13. But I'm still here to support the community if I can! There seems to be way more rules guys around these parts now so usually a question has been answered before I have even read it

PS3, English.

Here are the two cards, if the Gatherer version, would save me from losing a creature, because you only need to sacrifice one after casting the spell.

Gatherer:

Yeah, the Gatherer is showing the Portal card as an example of a printed card. But as puzzled says, it's the text on the right of the screen you need to read.

What you have posted there Eternal is a Visions version, looks like that's what the game is using. Back in those times they had a different way of writing additional costs to spells. Anything before the colon in spell test was an additional cost to the spell, just like anything before the colon of an activated ability is a cost for that ability.

That way of doing things was phased out a while ago and replaced by the clearer "as an additional cost to cast..."
