Official rulings

3 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

For spells with {X} in their mana costs, use the value chosen for X to determine the spell's mana value.

2021-03-19 · Wizards of the Coast

An ability that triggers when a player casts a spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

2021-03-19 · Wizards of the Coast

Alternative costs, additional costs, and cost reductions don't change a spell's mana value. Its mana value is still based on its mana cost.
