Slobad, Iron Goblin
Mishra, Tamer of Mak Fawa


Can I use mana generated with Slobad to pay for Unearth abilities?

Accepted Answer

No, you can not. Slobad allows you to spend mana to cast spells or to activate the abilities of artifacts on the battlefield. Unearth is an activated ability of a card in a graveyard, so Slobad's mana can not be spent on it. More broadly, 'artifact cards' and 'artifacts' are slightly different types of game objects - an artifact card is only considered to be an artifact when it is actually on the battlefield.
