Can you lower the printed cost of the card played this way (Star Dragon, Prince of Caledor, Ancient Stegadon, Tunnel Fighter, The Changeling, Beast of Rot, Grail Knight, Grombrindal's Elite)?
Captured Mind
I suspect that all of those effects would lower the cost, since they are all constants effects that modify the cost of the card. The only ones that are questionable to me are stuff like Star Dragon that references "your" discard. I would assume that 'your' refers to whoever is playing the card.
Wouldn't hurt to pose this question to Lukas and post up what his response is.
Actually, Lukas said you must pay the printed cost of the card, regardless of other effects that change the cost of the card.
This should have been in the article, sorry.
Thaks for clarification Mallumo.

That ruling seems a little weird to me, but I guess costs and cost modifiers have always been a little confusing to me in WHI.
I just wanted to point out an error in my first post. "Your" refers to whoever controls a card, so in this example "your" would still refer to the discard pile of the opponent, since he controls the Star Dragon until you play it. Its mostly irrelevant here, since apparently the cost can't be modified anyway, but I just didn't want to give anyone the wrong idea.
Not that it matters, but it's the ruling I expected, because you are resolving the effect of Captured Mind, which says play by paying the printed cost, not play as if it were in your hand.
