Plasm Capture oracle ruling 2013 speaks clearly about amount of mana you can be add at the beginning of the next precombat main phase. In specific you can add full cost of an X cost spell: if a spell cost XR and spell played with X=5 you can add 6 mana of any color. Mana Drain has not the same text.
Can we apply Plasm Capture rules at Mana Drain or we must consider X like 0 for the mana cost?
Nothing special.
The spell goes to the graveyard, which is typically replaced with going to the Command Zone for a commander, and the mana is added to your mana pool as normal.

How much? General cost increase on any cast from the Commander Zone, with plasm capture or mana drain we can add only regualar cmc i'm right?
Thanks, David.
A spells CMC is only ever the sum of the mana symbols in the top right corner of the card. It never includes any additional costs like the commander tax.
The only exception is if there is an x or y in the mana cost where the value you choose for x/y is added to the non-variable cost if you are casting the spell.

The CMC of an X spell on the stack includes the value of X chosen.
Therefore you'd add C equal to the total CMC of the spell, including X.
Anyone known what happen when a General is countered using one of these spells?
Thanks again, David.
