Answer

Ruling: Yes, Lux triggers based on the printed/base cost of the spell, not the reduced cost you actually pay.

Nuances:

  • Cost reduction effects like Eager Apprentice reduce the cost you pay, but do not change the base cost for trigger purposes
  • This principle applies to other similar effects like Defy and blue Kai'sa, which all check printed cost on the card
  • This is different from "ignoring cost" effects, which reduce the base cost to 0
