8 rulings from Wizards of the Coast
- 1 June 2011As you cast a spell or activate an activated ability with one or more Phyrexian mana symbols in its cost, you choose how to pay for each Phyrexian mana symbol at the same time you would choose modes or choose a value for X.
- 1 June 2011A card with Phyrexian mana symbols in its mana cost is each color that appears in that mana cost, regardless of how that cost may have been paid.
- 1 June 2011To calculate the mana value of a card with Phyrexian mana symbols in its cost, count each Phyrexian mana symbol as 1.
- 1 June 2011If a creature is copying something else, its mana value is the mana value of whatever it's copying.
- 1 June 2011A token has a mana value of 0, unless it is copying something else.
- 1 June 2011Phyrexian mana is not a new color. Players can't produce Phyrexian mana.
- 1 June 2011If you're at 1 life or less, you can't pay 2 life.
- 1 June 2011A creature's mana value is determined solely by the mana symbols printed in its upper right corner (unless that creature is copying something else; see below). If its mana cost includes {X}, X is considered to be 0. If it has no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it's an animated land, for example), its mana value is 0. Ignore any alternative costs or additional costs (such as kicker) paid when the creature was cast.
