Gameplay

Dragon spells you cast cost {1} less to cast. Whenever a Dragon you control enters, you may have Sarkhan become a copy of it until end of turn, except its name is Sarkhan, Soul Aflame and it's legendary in addition to its other types.

If the copied Dragon has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0.

2023-05-12wotc

If the Dragon that enters the battlefield is legendary and you have Sarkhan copy it, the two Dragons will have different names (unless the entering Dragon is somehow named Sarkhan, Soul Aflame). The "legend rule" won't apply.

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