Counter target spell. You may cast a spell that shares a card type with it from your hand without paying its mana cost.

The List

Dark Ascension

Counter target spell. You may cast a nonland card in your hand that shares a card type with that spell without paying its mana cost.

If the card has {X} in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as its value.

If you cast a card “without paying its mana cost,” you can’t pay any alternative costs. You can pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.

You cast the card in your hand as part of the resolution of Counterlash. Timing restrictions based on the card’s type (such as creature or sorcery) are ignored. Other restrictions are not (such as “Cast [this card] only during combat”).
