Card Details
Bargain
Return up to two target creature cards from your graveyard to your hand. If this spell was bargained, you may put one of those cards with mana value 4 or less onto the battlefield instead of putting it into your hand.

Bargain represents an optional additional cost. A spell cast with that additional cost paid is "bargained."

If you bargain this spell, you can still choose not to put one of the cards onto the battlefield, even if at least one is eligible.

If you copy a bargained spell, the copy is also bargained. If a card or token enters the battlefield as a copy of a permanent that's already on the battlefield, the new permanent isn't bargained, even if the original was.

Some instant and sorcery spells require additional targets if they're bargained. You ignore those targeting requirements if those spells aren't bargained, and you can't bargain those spells unless you can choose the appropriate targets. On the other hand, you can bargain a permanent spell even if you won't be able to choose targets for an enters-the-battlefield ability of that permanent once the spell resolves.

You may sacrifice only one artifact, enchantment, or token to pay a spell's bargain cost.
