I don’t know if this one is the right section for this but I have a curiosity for a mechanic that I never understood.
So let’s say that a minion that cost 7 mana has been reduced to 6 mana by a spell, once played does it count as a 6 minion or a 7 one? Same thing, is it an Odd or an Even cost card?
I believe that for the purposes of Summoning Stone reduced cost on spells will summon minions at the reduced cost. Been awhile since I played the card though, so I might be wrong.
I'm pretty sure that Recruit will count it as a 6-cost one, because when druid plays Barnabus the Stomper reducing the cost of all minions in the deck to 0 and then plays Oaken Summons, it can pull a 0-cost Tyrantus
My brother was playing Quest Hunter and he got a Corridor Creeper from Jeweled Macaw. He played the Corridor Creeper when its value was 1 mana and it counted for the quest. However when you play an Academic Espionage and you get 1cost mana spells, Skulking Geist can't destroy them. I guess this kind of "incosistency" is purely for not destroying a fun card with a single card, but honestly I am not sure

it is still 7 mana minion but you play it for 6 mana.
Dead but dreaming

So for the same reason it will count as a 7-cost card for recruit or a 6-cost one?

Depends on the mechanic the card is interacting. All posters above are correct for particular cases.
In play the card will count as 7 cost (for example if it is evolved) .
As it is played it will count as 6 cost minion.

So generally they count with the reduced cost until they are in the deck or in the hand, once played the regain their cost...am I right?
