Rulings

2009-10-01 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.

2009-10-01 Effects that increase or reduce the cost to cast a Trap will apply to whichever cost you chose to pay.

2009-10-01 The player you target with Runeflare Trap doesn't have to be the opponent that drew three or more cards this turn.

2009-10-01 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.
