3/8/2024	Energy counters are a kind of counter that a player may have. They’re not associated with any specific permanents.
3/8/2024	Keep track of how many energy counters each player has. Potential ways to track this include writing them down on paper or using dice, but any method that is clear and mutually agreeable is fine. (At higher levels of tournament play, dice may not be allowed for tracking counters that players have.)
3/8/2024	If an effect says you get one or more , you get that many energy counters. To pay one or more , 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.

3/8/2024	If a spell or ability with one or more targets states that you “may pay” some amount of , and each permanent that it targets has become an illegal target, the spell or ability won’t resolve. You can’t pay any even if you want to.
3/8/2024	Some spells and abilities that give you may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won’t resolve. You won’t get any .
