X cost = 0, X damage, with damage added on

Asked by legendofa 1 year ago

Following up on another question here, if Volcanic Geyser is cast without paying its mana cost, how does that interact with additive damage like Mechanized Warfare? Is X actually zero, so Mechanized Warfare adds 1 damage, or is it a null value, so Mechanized Warfare doesn't add anything?

Nothing would happen. If X=0 for Volcanic Geyser then it wouldn't be dealing any damage and there would be no event for Mechanized Warfare's replacement effect to apply to.

So 0 + 1 = 0 in this case. Thanks!
