  <blockquote>
    <p>702.29a Echo is a triggered ability. “Echo [cost]” means “At the beginning of your upkeep, if this permanent came under your control since the beginning of your last upkeep, sacrifice it unless you pay [cost].”</p>
    
    <p>702.29b Urza block cards with the echo ability were printed without an echo cost. These cards have been given errata in the Oracle card reference; each one now has an echo cost equal to its mana cost.</p>

<p>As you can see, echo is a triggered ability just like any other. It would normally tigger at the beginning of your upkeep, but because of humility, the creature no longer has the ability, so there's no ability to trigger.</p>

<p>Echo is an ability of a creature card, and humility says all creatures lose all abilities, so there is no more Echo. Cool right? But your creature is a 1/1 though.</p>

If I cast a card with Echo and [Humility](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=4881) is in play do I still have to pay the echo cost?
