Yes to all of them but My Body as a Shield.
(Can't 100% remember the exact ruling on this..)
The reason why you do pay for My Body as a Shield is because the card doesn't force you to pay 1500 life points as an out right cost upon activating it.
Although, I think it's mentioning the condition in which the card has to meet in order to be activated. Such as your opponent activating Lightning Vortex or Torrential Tribute.
But not cards like Mirror Force or Sakuretsu Armor since it would be activated in the Damage Step where it can't be activated.
However, I faintly remember that this card was debated about intensely about this very subject.
Just out of my personal opinion, I would say yes to all your cards but My Body as a Shield because it doesn't have the regular text of a Cost Effect. (However I feel I'm very wrong on this aspect.)

I agree with all of them, but are you 100% sure about Confiscation? I assumed the ruling would be similar to that of Archfiend's Oath and Chain Energy.
The rulings we have received thus far lean towards My Body as a Shield being a cost and thus you wouldn't have to pay for it with Spell Economics.
Confiscation is a Normal Spell card with an activation cost.
Archfiend's Oath and Chain Energy are not affected by Spell Economics because they are Continuous Spells that contain cost effects. So you are not "activating" the spell card with the cost.

They posted a ruling stating that My Body as a Shield's cost will now be PWNed by Spell Economics.

The fact is that My Body as a Shield still needs a Card Errata to suit the rest of the Cost Effects, however it's activation requirement prohibits that from happening.
Just know it's a Cost Effect and you'll be fine.
(Even though I wasn't sure if it was a Cost Effect...)

Hey Big M, it's funny I just saw you talking about this last weekend. Spell Economics is great. Gotta loveDimension Fusion also, use DMoC (Dark Magician of Chaos) for the OTK.
DMoC+Cannon Soldier/Mass Driver+Spell Economics and Dimension Fusion.
But, yes you can use all of those cards. Chain Energy and Messenger of Peace are in different categories from the cost effects.

Ok, you lost me here Raijinili. If your post was referenced to mine and my belief that My Body as a Shield is a Cost Effect then....that's my confusion.Raijinili said:
You say that it's not a cost effect and then say it's cost is paid at activation and gets off free by Spell Economics. Now, if it isn't a Cost Effect then you pay 1500 life points.
I've heard two detailed explainations of the type of effect this card has. Granted it has that kind of text that is kinda confusing in whether it's a Cost Effect or not.
So from going off what you posted, you completely said two things in my mind. Please, clear this up with a better explaination.
(However, I get confused these kinds of things a lot.)
