Can I cast Bolt Bend for its reduced cost with a 4/4 Crystalline Crawler, by removing a +1/+1 counter from it for the one red mana?
Accepted Answer
Yes. The way the casting process works, the reduced cost is locked in before you have to activate mana abilities to pay for it, By then, it doesn't matter that the Crawler doesn't have 4 power anymore.

I'm a former judge (lapsed), who keeps up to date on rules and policy. Keep in mind that judges' answers aren't necessarily more valid than those of people who aren't judges; what matters is we can quote the rules to back up our answers. When in doubt, ask for such quotes.
