Rulings
- : The cards put into your hand due to Mordenkainen's last ability aren't "drawn." Anything that cares about you drawing cards won't notice your hand suddenly becoming very, very well-stocked.
- : The power and toughness of the Dog Illusion token will change as the number of cards in your hand changes.
