Official rulings

5 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

To activate Synthesis Pod's ability, you must exile a spell you control on the stack (the only place spells exist).

2023-02-04 · Wizards of the Coast

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

2023-02-04 · 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. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast the card.

2023-02-04 · Wizards of the Coast

If you wish to cast the card, you do so as part of the resolution of Synthesis Pod's ability. You can't wait to cast it later. Timing rules based on a card's type are ignored.

2023-02-04 · Wizards of the Coast

The spell you exiled as part of the cost to activate Synthesis Pod's ability will remain in exile.
