Rulings
- October 4, 2004 — It will replace itself being sent to the graveyard, and exile itself.
- October 4, 2004 — The second ability is a replacement effect, not a triggered ability. The card never gets to the graveyard.
- October 4, 2004 — The “if you can’t” in the first ability refers to putting the card in your hand, as well as being unable to choose a card. Thus, if you can’t choose a card during resolution, you lose the game.
- October 4, 2004 — If more than one card is being drawn due to a single effect, apply the replacement as if the cards were being drawn one at a time.
