Awaken

Keywords · intermediate

Awaken lets an instant or sorcery also animate a land. It reads "Awaken N - [cost]."

How it works

• You may cast a spell with awaken for its awaken cost instead of its mana cost.
• If you do, in addition to the spell's normal effect, you put N +1/+1 counters on target land you control. That land becomes a 0/0 Elemental creature with haste that is still a land.

Rules notes

• The awakened land is a creature now, so it can be destroyed by creature removal, but it keeps producing mana.
• Awaken is an alternative cost; the spell's mana value is unchanged.
