Does cost reduction work on X spells in Magic: The Gathering?
Yes, but it's a bit tricky. Cost reduction affects the total cost to cast the spell, including X. However, it's super important to remember that the cost reduction applies to the overall cost and not directly to the X value. So, if your spell costs X and you get a 1 mana reduction, the entire spell is cheaper by 1, not just the X portion.

Absolutely, cost reduction does apply to X spells in Magic: The Gathering! When you're casting an X spell, you determine the value of X and then apply any cost reductions. So if you have a spell that's X and 3, and you have a cost reduction of 1, you'd only need to pay X and 2. This makes some of those big spells a bit easier to cast!
Nah, it's almost always a waste. People think they're getting a huge discount on those big spells, but really, the game's about more than just casting one big spell cheaper. Focus on strategy, not just slashing costs.
From personal experience, yes, cost reduction definitely applies and it's awesome. I played a game where I had a cost reduction artifact on the field and got to cast an X spell for way cheaper than it should've been. The look on my opponent's face was priceless!
