Instant and sorcery spells you cast cost 
less to cast.
2/2
Why is this card good?
Goblin Electromancer is a premier cost-reducer for any deck built around casting a lot of instants and sorceries. The discount adds up fast, and at two mana it comes down early enough to snowball your turns.
Who wants it:
- Izzet spellslinger decks (Niv-Mizzet, Mizzix, Veyran, Krark) that chain cheap spells for damage, card draw, or storm.
- Storm/combo shells where mana efficiency directly fuels your kill — every reduction can mean an extra spell or trigger.
- Decks leaning on Magecraft triggers (Veyran especially) where casting more spells per turn is the whole point.
When to skip it:
- Creature-heavy or non-spell decks gain nothing — the discount doesn't touch artifacts, creatures, or abilities.
- It's a fragile 2/2 that dies to any spot removal or board wipe, so don't over-rely on it to "enable" your deck.
Run it alongside Baral and other reducers to stack discounts. Cheap, replaceable, and effective in the right shell.

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.
