Illusionary Mask and Chalice
Asked by LiquidKid 9 years ago
I have an Illusionary Mask out. Opponent has Chalice of the Void with one counter on it. I summon Phyrexian Dreadnought and add a mana to hide the cost. What happens? Would that be an illegal play? It is controller of Chalice's responsibility to trigger the Chalice's ability, I do know that.

Illusionary Mask instructs you to cast the card you're... illusion-ing face down. That kind of makes this bit about casting morphs relevant (from the comprehensive rules):
702.36b To cast a card using its morph ability, turn it face down. It becomes a 2/2 face-down creature card with no text, no name, no subtypes, and no mana cost.
Since it has no mana cost, it's converted mana cost for anything that cares is 0. Chalice of the Void could counter it (as you are casting the face-down card) but it would have to have 0 counters on it. It doesn't matter what the face-down card's actual mana cost it.
