Official rulings

3 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

You may ignore a Trap’s alternative cost condition and simply cast it for its normal mana cost. This is true even if its alternative cost condition has been met.

2009-10-01 · Wizards of the Coast

Casting a Trap by paying its alternative cost doesn’t change its mana cost or mana value. The only difference is the cost you actually pay.

2009-10-01 · Wizards of the Coast

Effects that increase or reduce the cost to cast a Trap will apply to whichever cost you chose to pay.
