You may pay rather than pay this spell’s mana cost.
If the cost was paid, an opponent discards any number of cards, then draws that many cards.
Search your library for up to three cards, put them into your hand, shuffle, then discard three cards at random.
If the {2}{R}{R} cost was paid, the opponent chooses how many and which cards to discard as Fervent Mastery resolves. They may choose to discard no cards.

If you choose to pay one alternative cost, you can’t pay any other alternative costs. For example, if an effect lets you cast a “Mastery” spell “without paying its mana cost,” you can’t also choose to pay its given alternative cost.
Random a card of Magic: The Gathering (MTG), but you can also roll the D20 dice, random a Planeswalker, have fun with the random rules and more.
