Official rulings

4 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

If the exiled Aura has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.

2026-03-20 · Wizards of the Coast

The value of X is calculated at the time Herald of Amity's last ability resolves.

2026-03-20 · Wizards of the Coast

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 the spell.

2026-03-20 · Wizards of the Coast

You cast the spell while Herald of Amity's second ability is resolving and still on the stack. You can't wait to cast it later in the turn. Timing restrictions based on the card's types are ignored.
