Heartstone intereactions with X?
Asked by DeannaThePyromancer 3 years ago
I was in the middle of making a Marath, Will of the Wilds EDH deck when Heartstone popped into my mind and it got me wondering how those would interact with eachother? Would I be able to make, say, a 1/1 elemental for free? Does Heartstone just not take affect on X costs? Thanks! :)

Heartstone does affect abilities with in the cost, but it doesn't do what you're hoping here for two reasons.
First is that on the card, Heartstone says it can't reduce a cost to less than one mana. If you picked 2 for X, you would pay , but you can't reduce to this way.
The second reason is that Heartstone only affects mana costs. If you pick 2 for X, you only pay for the mana cost, but X is still 2. You still have to remove two counters for the X counter cost.
