• Jun 7, 2024 A spell's mana value is determined only by its mana cost. Ignore any alternative costs, additional costs, cost increases, or cost reductions.
• Jun 7, 2024 If an opponent casts a spell with {X} in its mana cost, use the value of X that was chosen when it was cast to determine its mana value.
• Jun 7, 2024 If the revealed card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
• Jun 7, 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 it.
• Jun 7, 2024 In some unusual cases, the card you reveal from the top of your library may not have the same mana value as the spell your opponent cast, but you can still cast that card because the resulting spell does have the same mana value. For example, if an opponent casts a spell with mana value 4 and you reveal Frogmyr Enforcer (a prototype card with mana cost {7} and prototype cost {3}{R}), you can cast Frogmyr Enforcer as a prototyped spell, as that spell will have a mana value of 4.
