Does Morophon interfere with Cascade?
Asked by alGORE34 4 years ago
Essentially I'm trying to cast The First Sliver after casting Morophon, the Boundless, if I cascade and find a five colour card like Sliver Hivelord, would it have a CMC of 5 or will it be 0 which means I'd have to play it?
Cascade cares about the converted mana cost of a card. As Gidgetimer mentioned, cost reductions like that from Morophon, the Boundless do not affect the CMC of a card.
When you cascade with The First Sliver and find Sliver Hivelord , the Hivelord's CMC is still 5, which is not less than the First Sliver's, and thus you will not have the option to cast the Hivelord and will have to keep exiling.

Please link all cards in your question using double brackets.
Morophon, the Boundless
The First Sliver
Sliver Hivelord
CMC is the total of the mana symbols printed in the upper right corner of the card (or along the left side of the art on future sight frames). When making this calculation counts as 0 everywhere except on the stack, where it counts for the amount you paid into it. Cost reductions, alternate costs, and additional costs do not change the CMC of a card.
