• WWizards of the Coast2015-11-04
  Official Ruling
  If there are additional costs to cast a spell, or if the cost to cast a spell is increased by an effect (such as the one created by Thalia, Guardian of Thraben's ability), apply those increases before applying cost reductions.

  Official Ruling
  Experience counters are the second kind of counters a player can have, joining poison.

  Official Ruling
  If an instant or sorcery spell you cast has in its mana cost, you choose the value of X before calculating the spell's total cost. For example, if that spell's mana cost is and you have one experience counter, you could choose 5 as the value of X and pay to cast the spell.
• WWizards of the Coast2015-11-04
  Official Ruling
  All experience counters are identical, no matter how you got them. For example, the last ability will count experience counters that you got from the first ability, from another ability, from proliferating, and so on.

  Official Ruling
  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.

  Official Ruling
  Mizzix's last ability doesn't change the mana cost or mana value of any spell. It changes only the total cost you pay.
• WWizards of the Coast2015-11-04
  Official Ruling
  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.
• WWizards of the Coast2015-11-04
  Official Ruling
  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.
• WWizards of the Coast2015-11-04
  Official Ruling
  The cost reduction can apply to alternative costs such as flashback costs.
