Volatile Stormdrake Rulings
- Jun 7, 2024
As Volatile Stormdrake's last ability resolves, Volatile Stormdrake must be on the battlefield and the target creature must be a legal target. If either of these things isn't true, the ability does nothing.
- Jun 7, 2024
Energy counters are a kind of counter that a player may have. They're not associated with any specific permanents.
- Jun 7, 2024
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.
- Jun 7, 2024
If a spell or ability with one or more targets states that you "may pay" some amount of {E}, and each permanent that it targets has become an illegal target, the spell or ability won't resolve. You can't pay any {E} even if you want to.
- Jun 7, 2024
If an effect says you get one or more {E}, you get that many energy counters. To pay one or more {E}, 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.
