Contest of Claws Rulings
- Nov 10, 2023
A spell's mana value is determined only by its mana cost. Ignore any alternative costs, additional costs, cost increases, or cost reductions.
- Nov 10, 2023
Excess damage has been dealt to a creature if the damage dealt to it is greater than lethal damage. Usually, this means damage greater than its toughness, although damage already marked on the creature is taken into account.
- Nov 10, 2023
If the discovered card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
- Nov 10, 2023
If you can't cast the discovered card (perhaps because there are no legal targets for the spell), you'll put it into your hand.
- Nov 10, 2023
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. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those to cast it.
