- Pick-Two
- The six-mana ability returns Gandalf to his owner's library and draws three; you give up the body.
- Sealed vs Draft
- Budget eleven mana across casting and activating if you want both uses; ward is not untargetability.
- Two-Headed Giant
- Your teammate’s cards and mana remain separate. Effects referring to creatures or permanents you control count only your board.
