    If you spend the mana added by Helga's last ability on a creature spell with {X} in its mana cost, the mana can be spent on any part of that spell's total cost. You're not limited to spending it only on the {X} part.
  • 2024-07-26 · Wizards of the Coast
    Helga's last ability is a mana ability. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.
