Oracle Text
Activated abilities of creatures you control cost {2} less to activate. This effect can't reduce the mana in that cost to less than one mana.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Training Grounds is a deceptively elegant blue enchantment that rewards you for building around creatures with potent activated abilities, turning a board of utility bodies into a lean engine of tempo and value. In practice, it best supports combo and midrange-control shells, where shaving two mana off repeated activations can translate into extra cards, extra mana, or repeated disruption every turn. Because it can’t reduce an ability below one mana, it’s especially good on abilities that normally ask for three or more, such as tapping creatures for effects, looting, blinking, or repeatable token production. Deckbuilding-wise, pair it with creatures like Knight of the Reliquary, Walking Ballista, or any commander-style threat that scales with activation frequency, and make sure your curve still includes protection so the enchantment survives long enough to matter. In a game plan sense, Training Grounds often feels like a quiet setup card that turns small, incremental edges into a decisive engine.
