More
- Pick-Two
- Recruit happens only when the countered spell has mana value two or less; the counter itself has no size restriction.
- Sealed vs Draft
- The UU cost and the conditional recruit are separate checks when building the mana base.
- Two-Headed Giant
- Your teammate’s cards and mana remain separate. Effects referring to creatures or permanents you control count only your board.
