Errata-Spell Slave (2023-10-9) Question: Do abilites that affect the cost paid to cast a spell prevent it from being cast by Spell Slave? Answer: No. Explanation: The COST is not actually modified until it’s time to pay it. Additionally, the Spell Spave model is using a special action or attack to cast, so the model never pays a cost in the first place. Finally, abilities don't modify the cost of the spell on the card, they modify how much is paid to cast the spell. Infernal Ruling: STAFF - PP Community forum

Lore

During the rare moments Goreshade is not in study or slaughter he stares into the empty night remembering a time when he was positioned to seize control of an entire nation and not just another general in the legions of the Dragonfather.
