This may be a stupid question but basically I am asking if 5 cost spells count towards the Dragoncaller Alanna counter if their base card is 5 mana or higher, or if their literal cost is 5 mana or higher. For example if I draw a frost nova with Bright Eyed Scout, does that count as a five cost spell? Or if I discover a blizzard from Primordial Glyph does that count as five cost spell because its base card is 6 mana, but in this case it is 4 mana. Thanks for the help!
Alanna treats spells that cost five of greater like an official designation or "tribe". So if blizzard has its cost reduced, it still falls into the "tribe" of spells that cost five or greater. It's important to note that this is somewhat inconsistent with other interactions like arcane tyrant or medihv which check for the current cost of a spell when activating. The best way to think about it is if all spells that cost 5 or greater had the tag "big spell" on the card. Conversely, if you made a frost nova cost 5, it still would not count because it is not a "big spell".

I believe it depends on the mana cost of the card when you cast it so a frost nova that cost 5 mana counts

Okay thank you for clearing that up :)
