[fix/close]Chalice of the Void when put into play asks for X

by **Aswan jaguar** » 02 May 2016, 09:46

Describe the Bug:
1- If you put into play Chalice of the Void with something like Wargate or Genesis Hydra (and have then available mana to spend) will still prompt to pay for X and will get counters to the value you pay for X.
2- If you cast a Chalice of the Void for XX= 0 and try to cast another one for anything but 0 it will counter that spell,is this correct?

Which card did behave improperly ?
Chalice of the Void

Which update are you using?(date,name)Which type(Duel,Gauntlet,Sealed Deck)
Manalink 2016/01/15: Battle For Zendikar v2,duel

What exactly should be the correct behavior/interaction ?
1- If you put into play Chalice of the Void with something like Wargate or Genesis Hydra (and have then available mana to spend) will not prompt to pay for X and will get no counters to the value you pay for X.
2- ?
Are any other cards possibly affected by this bug ?
Orochi Hatchery has the exact same bug when put on battlefield,possibly all cards with only XX in their casting cost.

I don't think the 2nd one is correct. A card with X in the casting cost has a CMC of X while it is on the stack (202.3b), so if you cast a 2nd Chalice of the Void it should only be countered if X is 1/2 of the counters on the first chalice.

Both fixed.
