- Pick-Two
- The creature return is optional; amass three still happens without a creature card in your graveyard.
- Sealed vs Draft
- An existing Army gets counters rather than an extra creature, so count bodies accurately.
- Two-Headed Giant
- Your teammate’s cards and mana remain separate. Effects referring to creatures or permanents you control count only your board.
