What happens if I draw a card like Fireball to Sorin, Grim Nemesis?

Asked by AndersRumpf 8 years ago

What happens when you use the +1 on Sorin, Grim Nemesis and you draw a card with X in the mana cost, like Fireball?

GearNoir says... #1

From Sorin, Grim Nemesis's Gatherer page:

• If a card in your library has Variable Colorless in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.

In other words, the CMC of Fireball is 1, so the +1 would do 1 damage to each opponent.

I should clarify further perhaps. The CMC of Fireball is 1 because of the single in the mana cost; the of course does not any anything to the CMC value because = 0 in this case.
