Choose one of the following. (1) Select an enemy leader or enemy follower on the field. Deal it 4 damage and draw a card. (2) : Select an enemy leader or enemy follower on the field. If there are at least 10 Academic cards in your cemetery, deal it 8 damage and draw 2 cards.
QIf there are fewer than 10 Academic cards in my cemetery, can I still choose (2) and draw 2 cards?
ANo. You can still choose (2) as long as you can select an enemy leader or enemy follower on the field and pay 3 play points, but nothing will happen.
QWhen resolving this spell's (2) effect, does the spell itself count toward the condition "if there are at least 10 Academic cards in your cemetery"?
ANo. While you're resolving this spell's effects, it isn't in the cemetery yet.
