• Apr 18, 2017 The mana value of a split card is determined by the combined mana cost of its two halves. If an expertise spell allows you to cast a split card, you may cast either half or, if that split card has fuse, both halves.
• Feb 9, 2017 A card's mana value is determined solely by the mana symbols printed in its upper right corner. The mana value is the total amount of mana in that cost, regardless of color. For example, a card with mana cost {1}{U}{U} has mana value 3. Ignore any alternative costs, additional costs, cost increases, or cost reductions that could apply to it. A card with no mana cost has a mana value of 0.
• Feb 9, 2017 Any triggered abilities that trigger while performing the Expertise spell's first effect won't be put onto the stack until after you're done casting your free spell. They're put onto the stack at the same time as any abilities that triggered while casting that spell regardless of the order in which those abilities triggered.
• Feb 9, 2017 Effects that allow you to "cast" a card don't allow you to play a land card.
• Feb 9, 2017 If the card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
