Does Needlessly Large Yordle's cost get reduced by points gained from Ahri's effect?

Ruling: Effects that gain points do not count towards reducing Needlessly Large Yordle's cost.

Nuances:

• Even though Ahri's text says "from holding," the points are gained through an effect rather than directly from holding the card
• The distinction is between points scored from physically holding a card versus points gained through a card's effect
