Um; uh; oh, I see. Yeuch. Also affinity; so double yuech.
So... Affinity for Goblins doesn't apply to the Align cost. It might not be wrong, but it don't feel right.
Yea it don't feel right. Don't think too hard about it
Yes it does. Affinity is a cost reduction mechanic, which applies no matter what cost you're paying
Why wouldn't affinity apply to the align cost?
Is Riggle a word I should know or just a fantastic collective noun for Goblins?
> The total cost is the mana cost or alternative cost [...], plus all additional costs and cost increases, and minus all cost reductions.
An align cost would obviously be an alternative cost and affinity is a cost reduction and the rule for determining costs states that cost reductions are applied to alternative costs to determine the total cost.
