- Q: For Forest Fire and Bleeding the Elements, can I really satisfy these cards' costs using an opponent's Forest or Bloodspeaker? A: Yes. And, as you noticed, these first effects are, in fact, costs. You have to successfully do them to produce the rest of the cards' effects. The Imperial Herald, Issue 12, p. 32
