Can an opponent use Defy against a spell with Repeat if the total cost (including Repeat's recycle cost) exceeds Defy's restriction?

Ruling: Defy always looks at the base printed cost of the spell, so Repeat does not matter for Defy's restriction.

Nuances:

• This works the same way as Sky Splitter
• The additional recycle cost from Repeat is not considered when determining if Defy can be used
