- Jun 16, 2023 If a permanent with {X} in its mana cost is returned to a player's hand this way, {X} is 0 for the purpose of evaluating its mana value.
- Jun 16, 2023 If a spell is returned to its owner's hand, it's removed from the stack and thus will not resolve. The spell isn't countered; it just no longer exists. This works against a spell that can't be countered.
- Jun 16, 2023 If a spell with {X} in its mana cost is returned to a player's hand this way, {X} is the value chosen as the spell was cast for the purpose of evaluating the spell's mana value.
- Jun 16, 2023 If the spell you cast has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X.
