Scattering Stroke (Commander 2011 #60)

Scattering Stroke {2}{U}{U}

Instant

Counter target spell. Clash with an opponent. If you win, at the beginning of your next main phase, you may add an amount of {C} equal to that spell’s mana value. (Each clashing player reveals the top card of their library, then puts that card on the top or bottom. A player wins if their card had a higher mana value.)

Notes and Rules Information for Scattering Stroke:
  • You decide whether or not to add that much {C} to your mana pool as the delayed triggered ability resolves at the beginning of your next main phase. You don’t decide before then. (2007-10-01)
  • You can’t add just some of the mana to your mana pool. You either add all the mana to your mana pool or none of it. (2007-10-01)
