For each opponent, exile up to one target permanent that player controls with an even mana value. (Zero is even.)
Adamant — If at least three colorless mana was spent to cast this spell, return a permanent card with an odd mana value from your graveyard to the battlefield.

If you copy a spell that has an adamant ability, no mana was spent to cast the copy at all, so that ability won't apply.

If a card has {X} in its mana cost, X is zero when it's in any zone but the stack.

If an effect allows you to cast a spell without paying its mana cost, you can't choose to cast it and pay unless another rule or effect allows you to cast that spell for a cost. Similarly, you can't waive a cost reduction unless that effect says you may.

Adamant effects check what mana was actually spent to cast a spell. If an effect allows you to spend mana "as though it were mana" of any color or type, that allows you to spend mana you couldn't otherwise spend, but it doesn't change what mana you spent to cast the spell.

Cards with no mana cost, like land cards, have a mana value of zero.
