The Mana Value of The Argent Etchings Flip is four.
202.3b The mana value of a transforming double-faced permanent or spell’s back face is calculated as though it had the mana cost of its front face. If a permanent or spell is a copy of the back face of a transforming double-faced card (even if the card representing that copy is itself a double faced card), the mana value of the copy is 0.

In short, once Elesh Norn Flip flips over to The Argent Etchings Flip and finishes its last chapter with Narci, Fable Singer in play, will Narci see the saga as having a costing cast of zero or four?

I believe the original intention was for Norn to be the ex post facto "leader" by essentially being a pronounced zealot toward The Argent Etchings, with Shelly, Jin and Vor basically being her tools. Each having their own unique way of going about their duties, but their duties being to serve Elesh Norn.
However, Urabrask sought his own true path, almost retaining an identity. Ultimately this is why he was recently killed.
The problem is, I think writers lost sight of this and forged identities and motives for Shelly, Jin and Vor. They never should have been fleshed out. That defeats their purpose.
Although, perhaps from a narrative perspective, it could be used to claim how and why they were able to be defeated. Because they lost sight of the bigger picture.
