Oracle text

When this enchantment enters, you get an energy counteran energy counter (two energy counters).

You may cast creature spells with mana value 3 or less by paying an energy counter rather than paying their mana costs. If you cast a spell this way, you may cast it as though it had flash.

Rulings (11)

  1. 2024-06-07

    Some triggered abilities state that you "may pay" a certain amount of an energy counter. You can't pay that amount multiple times to multiply the effect. You simply choose whether or not to pay that amount of an energy counter as the ability resolves.

  2. 2024-06-07

    Keep track of how many energy counters each player has. Potential ways to track this include writing theme down on paper or using dice, but any method that is clear and mutually agreeable is fine. (At higher levels of tournament play, dice may not be allowed for tracking counters that players have.)

  3. 2024-06-07

    Some spells and abilities that give you an energy counter may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't get any an energy counter.

  4. 2024-06-07

    If a spell you cast this way has X generic mana in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it.

  5. 2024-06-07

    Energy counters are a kind of counter that a player may have. They're not associated with any specific permanents.

  6. 2024-06-07

    Some triggered abilities that state that you "may pay" a certain amount of an energy counter describe an effect that happens "If you do." In that case, no player may take actions to try to stop the ability's effect after you make your choice. If the payment is followed by the phrase "When you do," then you'll choose any targets for that reflexive triggered ability and put it on the stack before players can take actions.

  7. 2024-06-07

    If an effect says you get one or more an energy counter, you get that many energy counters. To pay one or more an energy counter, you lose that many energy counters. You can't pay more energy counters than you have. Any effects that interact with counters a player gets, has, or loses can interact with energy counters.

  8. 2024-06-07

    If you cast a spell for another cost "rather than paying its mana cost," you can't choose to cast it for any alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the spell has any mandatory additional costs, those must be paid to cast it.

  9. 2024-06-07

    If a spell or ability with one or more targets states that you "may pay" some amount of an energy counter, and each permanent that it targets has become an illegal target, the spell or ability won't resolve. You can't pay any an energy counter even if you want to.

  10. 2024-06-07

    an energy counter is the energy symbol. It represents one energy counter.

  11. 2024-06-07

    Energy counters aren't mana. They don't go away as steps, phases, and turns end, and effects that add mana "of any type" can't give you energy counters.
