Rulings
- : You can't change the number of targets, choose an illegal target, or make something get targeted more than once.
- : An empty library will have no card to reveal, so a player with an empty library has no card to compare. The effect looks for the highest cost card of the cards that actually are revealed.
- : You can change all, some, or none of the targets.
- : The mana value of a split card is determined by the combined mana cost of its two halves.
