Wizards of the Coast 20 Mar 2026

If you cast your first spell with {X} in its mana cost during a turn before Zimone is on the battlefield, casting another spell with {X} in its mana cost later in the turn won't cause her last ability to trigger. That spell also won't have the cost reduction from Zimone's first ability.

Wizards of the Coast 20 Mar 2026

Since Zimone's last ability won't trigger until you've finished casting your first spell with {X} in its mana cost each turn, the counters from that ability won't be placed on Zimone until after that spell's cost has been determined. The counters put on Zimone from casting your first spell with {X} in its mana cost do not reduce that same spell's cost.

Wizards of the Coast 20 Mar 2026

Zimone's last ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered or otherwise leaves the stack.

Color identityEvery color of mana symbol on a card, in its cost and in its rules text. Your commander's color identity sets the limit for your whole deck: every other card has to fit inside it. A deck led by a green and white commander cannot play a card with any blue in its color identity.Open the full glossaryUGPlayers write colors as letters: U for blue, G for green.

A counter here is a small permanent marker that raises a creature's power and toughness for good. It is not a counterspell, which is a different thing entirely. Something that adds them every turn makes your whole board bigger and keeps it that way.
