Mizzix of the Izmagnus

You finish casting a spell, including paying its costs, before Mizzix's first ability triggers. The ability that gives you the experience counter will resolve before the spell that caused it to trigger.

Mizzix's last ability doesn't change the mana cost or mana value of any spell. It changes only the total cost you pay.

Each game pack includes a card labeled "Experience" with the suggestion "Place your experience counters here." This card isn't required for play. It's simply a convenient spot to put your experience counters, which can be represented with dice, glass beads, or other small items.

Mizzix's last ability can't reduce the amount of colored mana you pay for a spell. It reduces only the generic component of that cost.

The cost reduction can apply to alternative costs such as flashback costs.
