It can't be done in that wording.

[Araignee]

Its the closest wording I could think of.

In order for this to work, you have to put the cost reduction ability on a permanent. You pay for costs before the spell resolves so it the reduction hasn't resolved so you have to pay full price. I'd make it an artifact ala Memory Crystal, Flunctuator and Catalyst Stone.

Actually, you can do it as a replacement effect:

"If a card is spliced onto ~, reduce it's splice cost by :2: "

True, but that's not what he's going for. The way I'm reading it, he wants to be able to splice this card onto somthing else, and then have anything else that gets spliced on cost :2: less. so if you play a Lava Spike and Splice this and two Glacial Rays it only costs RRR instead of 2RRR.

If it is a replacment effect like you suggest then I would have to Splice the Glacail Rays onto the this card, costing GRR and losing the Mastry cause it was played not spliced.

Spliced text gets added before the spell's total cost is calculated. :)

Oh, and I highly suspect that this effect belongs in Blue.
