Steel Hellkite Rulings

  • Nov 8, 2024

    If Steel Hellkite's third ability is activated with X equal to 0, it will destroy each nonland permanent with mana value 0 the appropriate players control.

  • Nov 8, 2024

    If a nonland permanent has no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it's a token that's not copying something else, for example), its mana value is 0.

  • Nov 8, 2024

    If a permanent is copying something else, its mana value is the mana value of whatever it's copying.

  • Nov 8, 2024

    If the mana cost of a permanent includes {X}, X is 0 for the purpose of determining its mana value.

  • Nov 8, 2024

    In all cases, ignore any alternative costs or additional costs (such as kicker) paid when the permanent was cast.
