How would you play a Nimbus Swimmer using Jalira's activated ability
Asked by KhornateKultist 9 years ago
I'm building a Simic deck that includes Jalira, Master Polymorphist in it and I came across a snag in my plan when thought about how I would play Nimbus Swimmer . Would It gain +1/+1 counters depending on Jalira's ability cost or can I use what mana I want to add the counters when it comes into play?

Whoops, I misread your question actually. I thought you were using Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge (they kinda sound the same right...?)
The outcome though is the same (Nimbus Swimmer will enter with 0 +1/+1 counters) but for a different reason. The value of X was never defined, as you never actually cast Nimbus Swimmer , so the value will default to 0.

Wow double-screw-up. Jeleva, Nephalia's Scourge can only cast instants and sorceries.
Sorry for any confusion.

Neither. X in a mana cost is always 0 when you choose to cast a spell without paying it's mana cost.
