What it does
Delve (Each card you exile from your graveyard while casting this spell pays for {1}.)
Flying
X, T, Exile X cards from your graveyard: Target creature gets -X/-X until end of turn.
Rulings
3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2021-03-19
Because delve isn't an alternative cost, it can be used in conjunction with alternative costs, such as flashback. It can also be used to pay for additional costs that include generic mana.
- 2021-03-19
You can exile cards to pay only for generic mana, and you can't exile more cards than the generic mana requirement of a spell with delve. For example, you can't exile more than seven cards from your graveyard to cast Treasure Cruise unless an effect has increased its cost.
- 2021-03-19
Delve doesn't change a spell's mana cost or mana value. For example, Treasure Cruise's mana value is 8 even if you exiled three cards to cast it.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
