If there is a Counterbalance on the board, and someone plays a Flame Javelin, does Counterbalance need to reveal a 3 CMC, 6 CMC, or either CMC card to counter it?
I believe that when a spell is on the stack, its CMC is whatever the player is playing it for. So if Javelin was played for 2RR, its CMC would be 4 while on the stack.
Let me look this up, though.
EDIT: Not finding anything on it, that may only be applicable to X spells.
EDIT 2: The rules specifically make a exception for X spells, but none for hybrid mana, so I guess it is always the largest possible combination.
