Gaddock Teeg and Sphere Of Resistance.
Asked by Denial048 11 years ago
Okay, couldn't find anything about this on either gatherer page. In EDH, if I have Gaddock Teeg as my commander (and on the battlefield) with Sphere of Resistance out, can a player still cast a noncreature spell with CMC 3? Or, because of Sphere of Resistance , does it lock out 3 CMC cards?
If it would lock it out, then having Trinisphere and Sphere of Resistance should effectively lock out every noncreature spell from being cast, as long as Gaddock Teeg remains on the field, right?
Thanks in advance.

Gaddock Teeg 's ability only cares about the converted mana costs of the spells. CMC is derived only from the printed mana cost in the upper right of the spell. Additional costs or cost increases are irrelevant; nothing ever changes the CMC of a card.
