Official rulings

3 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

Use the mana value of the creature as it last existed on the battlefield to determine whether or not you surveil.

2024-04-12 · Wizards of the Coast

If the target creature has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0 for the purpose of determining its mana value.

2024-04-12 · Wizards of the Coast

If the target creature is an illegal target as Consuming Ashes tries to resolve, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won’t surveil.
