Official rulings
Two official rulings apply to Delighted Halfling, newest first.
- If the legendary spell you cast this way is copied, the copy can be countered.
- The legendary spell can't be countered if the mana produced by Delighted Halfling is spent to pay any portion of the spell's cost, even an additional cost or an alternative cost. This is true even if you pay an additional cost while casting a spell "without paying its mana cost."
