Notes

To edit these notes, go to Template:Summoning Portal notes.

Example: Blackrock MountainEmperor Thaurissan's effect has triggered while holding a 3-Cost minion. Summoning Portal reduces the minion to 1 Mana and Thaurissan's enchantment is applied afterwards, making it cost 0 Mana.[1][2]
Example: If a minion card with a base mana cost of 1 has its cost increased by some effect, playing a Summoning Portal will not reduce the final mana cost of the minion: since Summoning Portal's effect is applied first, it cannot decrease the mana cost of the 1-Cost minion below 1 and has no effect; only then is the cost-increasing effect applied.[3][4]
  • Summoning Portal does not increase the mana cost of a 0-Cost minion to 1.[5]

    1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuK4W6kiMlY&t=4m31s - Deathwing's cost is reduced to 0 mana, so Thaurissan's enchantment must be being applied after the Portals have reduced the cost, despite the Portals being played after Thaurissan had activated.
