FreakyM: I don't think it actually DOES combo with Trinisphere because the Trinisphere sets the cost to 3 AFTER Sphere of Resistance effect is applied.

Ganryu: yer actually right. Oh well, they still work quite nicely in the same deck.

actually, im almost certain it does work with trinisphere.

Like, trinisphere brings the cost up to 3, then this adds an extra one onto it.

works with thorn of amethyst too

Actually, read the rulings of Trinisphere on the bottom of its page.

According to trinisphere's rulings:
It is applied *after* any other cost increasers or cost reducers are applied

Thus it will look at the spell's cost +1 then decide if it is less than 3, and make it 3. Sorry this doesn't work too well with trinisphere.

@ brunsbr103

No the cost of the spell is usually equal to the Converted Mana Cost (CMC) but the cost can be increased (as we see here) or decreased (Cloud Key) it is more expensive or cheaper to play, but it doesn't change the CMC of the spell, which Gaddock Teeg cares about. In fact, I think its impossible to change the CMC of a spell.

More difficult to use than it looks. Funny in land destruction and with things like veteran brawlers.

This kills any combo decks that were betting on comboing off in 3 turns (or even two turns, if you're going first!)
