Legality is a property of the card, not the printing, so it is identical for all 5 versions.

If this card is sacrificed to pay part of a spell's cost, the cost reduction still applies.

The generic X cost is still considered generic even if there is a requirement that a specific color be used for it. For example, “only black mana can be spent this way”. This distinction is important for effects which reduce the generic portion of a spell's cost.

The effect is cumulative.

This can lower the cost to zero, but not below zero.

The lower cost is not optional like with some other cost reducers.

Can never affect the colored part of the cost.
