The Crowd Goes Wild

Assist allows another player to pay for any amount of generic mana. If an effect changes the cost of the spell, the amount that player may pay will be more or less than the amount in the spell’s reminder text.

If a spell with support has other abilities that target creatures, those abilities and the support ability can target the same creature.

Support can target a creature another player controls.

If The Crowd Goes Wild has any targets and each of those targets is illegal as it tries to resolve, the spell doesn’t resolve. No creatures gain trample. The crowd falls silent.

The final ability of The Crowd Goes Wild affects only creatures with a +1/+1 counter on them at the time it’s applied. Creatures that get a +1/+1 counter later in the turn won’t gain trample, and creatures that lose their +1/+1 counters later in the turn won’t lose trample.

Only the generic mana portion of a spell’s cost can be paid with assist. Any colored mana costs must be paid by the spell’s controller, even if the assisting player paid mana of that color.

If an effect allows a player to cast a spell spending mana “as though it were mana of any color” or “of any type,” that player must still pay for the colored mana in that spell’s total cost. That cost doesn’t become generic.
