Rulings

(5/1/2007)
While a spell with X in its cost is on the stack, its mana value takes the chosen value of X into account. Mistmeadow Skulk can be chosen as a target for a Blaze (which has mana cost
X
) if X is 0 or 1, for example, but it can't be chosen as a target for a Blaze if X is 2 or more.
(5/1/2007)
A face-down creature has a mana value of 0, so Mistmeadow Skulk doesn't have protection from it .
