More
- Pick-Two
- It cannot block. Returning it from your graveyard costs two mana plus an artifact or creature at sorcery speed.
- Sealed vs Draft
- Do not count it as early defense; its repeated drain needs fodder and recasting mana.
- Two-Headed Giant
- Each opponent loses two life, normally four life from the opposing shared total. Its graveyard return still needs your sacrifice and your mana.
