Official rulings
Three official rulings apply to Emergency Powers, newest first.
- Addendum abilities of instant spells apply while the spell is resolving, not immediately after casting it. If the spell is countered, you don't get the addendum bonus.
- If an effect copies a spell with an addendum ability while it's on the stack, the copy wasn't cast at all, so you won't get the addendum bonus.
- If a card in your hand has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
