Kellan, the Kid Rulings
- Apr 12, 2024 A permanent spell is an artifact, battle, creature, enchantment, or planeswalker spell.
- Apr 12, 2024 If the permanent spell you cast has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
- Apr 12, 2024 If the spell you cast that caused Kellan, the Kid’s last ability to trigger has {X} in its mana cost, X is the value chosen as that spell was cast for the purpose of determining its mana value.
- Apr 12, 2024 If the spell you cast that caused Kellan, the Kid’s last ability to trigger is represented by a split card, the characteristics of the half you didn’t cast are ignored while that spell is on the stack. For example, if you cast the Cease half of Cease // Desist from the Murders at Karlov Manor release, that spell’s mana value is 2 because Cease’s mana cost is {1}{B}{G}.
- Apr 12, 2024 If you cast a spell “without paying its mana cost,” you can’t choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the spell.
