Does the The Ur-Dragon + hatchery sliver make Universal Automaton have "Replicate 0". Thus allowing you to cast an arbitrary number of Universal Automaton

Accepted Answer

No, for two reasons. First, The Ur-Dragon's 1 cost reduction only applies once per Dragon spell, and doesn't repeatedly apply to each additional cost for that spell (this is the same reason it makes Verix Bladewing cost 1RR, but doesn't reduce Verix's kicker cost to 2). Second, a spell's mana cost in this instance refers to what's printed on the card, not the cost as modified by outside effects. A combo in this vein that would work would be Memnite, Conspiracy. and Hatchery Sliver.
