Gargos, Vicious Watcher Rulings
- Jul 12, 2019
Gargos's controller chooses which creature (if any) Gargos will fight, not the controller of the spell.
- Jul 12, 2019
Gargos's cost-reduction ability affects only generic mana in a Hydra's cost. For example, if you cast a Hydra spell with mana cost {2}{G}{G}{G}, it will cost {G}{G}{G} to cast, not {G}.
- Jul 12, 2019
Gargos's cost-reduction ability applies only while it's on the battlefield. Gargos doesn't reduce its own cost.
- Jul 12, 2019
Gargos's triggered ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
- Jul 12, 2019
If a spell has {X} in its mana cost, you choose the value for X before applying cost reductions. For example, if you cast a Hydra spell with mana cost {X}{G}{G} and choose for X to be 6, you pay {2}{G}{G}. Any of that Hydra's abilities that refer to X still uses 6 as the value for X regardless of what you actually paid.
