For situation #1, you get to choose or (I think I know which one you're going to pick). For situation #2, the cost is .
When you get to the cost-calculating step of casting a spell or activating an ability, first you start with the base cost as determined by any choices you made earlier, then you apply all cost-increasing effects in the order of your choice, then you apply all cost-reducing effects in the order of your choice, then you apply cost-setting effects in the order of your choice (right now Trinisphere is the only example of this last one).
So for #1, you either apply them in the order Codex -> Zirda and get or Zirda -> Codex and get . For #2 you get either way. Zirda's effect will never increase a cost that's already been reduced below some other way.

Here's some more info: As you noted in your question, a phased-out permanent is treated as if it didn't exist. It can't affect any other objects in the game and no other events in the game can affect it while it's phased out. King of the Oathbreakers won't trigger for any Spirits getting targeted while it's phased out.

Yes, the countered spell was still "played" and each player gets a Bird. To "play" a card is to either play it as a land or cast it as a spell. For a spell, Rendmaw's ability triggers when you cast the spell and it doesn't matter whether or not the spell actually resolves.

Trickster318: Only 9 total, as explained in the "Accepted answer" above. The Storm ability on Grapeshot and the ability of Thousand-Year Storm each trigger when you cast a spell, and each of them makes a number of copies of that spell equal to the number of spells cast before it this turn. The original Grapeshot's own Storm ability makes 4 copies of itself and Thousand-Year Storm also makes 4 copies of that original Grapeshot. Original + 4 copies + 4 copies = 9 total.

#1Yes. Mana cost is one of the copiable values that copy effects take into account, so every copy of Essence of the Wild will have a mana cost of .
