Bargain

Keywords · beginner

Bargain is an optional additional cost. As you cast a spell with bargain, you may sacrifice an artifact, enchantment, or token.

How it works

• If you sacrifice a qualifying permanent, the spell was "bargained" and gains an extra effect described in its rules text.
• A token works well as bargain fuel because sacrificing it costs you little.

Rules notes

• Whether the spell was bargained is locked in as it is cast, and copies and counters see that state.
• Bargain is an additional cost; it does not change the spell's mana value.
