  • WotCJul 15, 2006

    A card that’s already revealed for another cost or because of an effect can be revealed to pay this cost.

  • WotCJul 15, 2006

    Each card that’s revealed to pay the cost remains revealed until the ability leaves the stack.

  • WotCJul 15, 2006

    If one of the cards that’s revealed to pay the cost leaves its owner’s hand before the ability resolves, it stops being revealed, but the value of X is not affected.
