You can't cast a spell for both its cleave cost and another alternative cost. For example, if an effect gives an Alchemist's Retrieval in your graveyard a flashback cost of {U}, you can't cast it from your graveyard for its cleave cost.
wotc19 Nov 2021
If an effect allows you to “cast a spell without paying its mana cost,” you can't cast that spell for its cleave cost.
wotc19 Nov 2021
A cleave cost is an alternative cost that's paid instead of the spell's mana cost. Casting a spell for its cleave cost doesn't change the spell's mana value.
wotc19 Nov 2021
If you cast a spell for its cleave cost, that spell doesn't have any of the text in square brackets while it's on the stack.

If you're paying the cleave cost, you choose the value of X.
