The converted mana cost of a face-down spell is 0, just like using morph.Originally Posted by sigfig8
“It's possible. But it involves... {checks archives} Nature's Revolt, Opalescence, two Unstable Shapeshifters (one of which started as a Doppelganger), a Tide, an animated land, a creature with Fading, a Silver Wyvern, some way to get a creature into play in response to stuff, some way to get a land into play in response to stuff (a different land from the animated land), and one heck of a Rube Goldberg timing diagram.”

OK, good to know. So that means counterbalance reveailing land, chalice, engineered explosives, etc. will all counter the face-down creature.
Thanks for the fast reply!
So even though it says on the card that X can be 0, it can't be?
Hill Giant means business.
If you want to cast an ornithopter face down, you can pay {0} for {X}.
Or did you ask something different?
Well the actual text on the card would seem to indicate that you could put any creature on it for 0.
I guess you can't do that then?
So if you attack with the facedown creature it flips up then you have to pay the cost? If it got burned would it flip and you pay the cost? The cost being the difference I guess. So you have to pay at least 1 if it costs that or more?

The mask says that you must be able to pay the creature's mana cost with X, so X must be at least as big as the card's mana cost. You can pay extra, but not less.
Could you cheat a suspent creature in?
edit: nvm there is no suspend creature wich can only be suspended
If there was, I don't think that it would work. A blank mana cost can't be paid, so you wouldn't be able to fulfill the criteria of using the mask ability.
