How does "costs less" interact with X "or more"?
Asked by legendofa 2 years ago
Let's say I have Nightscape Familiar and Goblin Electromancer out. What's the minimum I need to pay for X to get all effects of Multiple Choice ?

When casting a spell you declare a number for X. When it comes time to pay the costs of the spell you determine what you need to pay by taking the cost of the spell (with the declared value of X in the case of "X" spells) plus any additional costs, minus any cost reductions, and then any cost setting effects ( Trinisphere is the only one that I know of).
So for an X of 4 on Multiple Choice with only the stated effects it would be plus nothing minus for a mana payment due of .

First you choose the value for X that you want (in this case, you'd choose 4).
Then, once you've chosen X, you'd apply the cost reduction (1 less for the Familiar, and one less for the Electromancer)
So in total, you'd have to pay 2 generic mana and one Blue.
