Template:Astral Communion notes

• This spell has two steps, carried out in the following order despite the card text:

• First, it discards the casting player's hand, queuing and resolving triggers;
• Then, although not stated in the card's text, this spell has the following effect:

• If, after paying this card's Cost, the casting player has 10 available and/or maximum mana, this card will generate an Excess Mana card in the player's hand.

Example. If the player has 5 available mana but 10 maximum mana, casting Astral Communion will discard their hand and then generate an Excess Mana card, leaving th player with only 1 available mana.

Example. If on turn 8 a player with 8 full Mana Crystals casts 2 Innervate followed by an Astral Communion with mana cost reduced to 0 by Emperor Thaurissan, after discarding their hand Astral Communion will generate an Excess Mana card, since when the spell takes effect the player already has 10 available mana.

• Otherwise, it will give 10 filled Mana Crystals to the casting player, setting the mana counter to 10/10 and replacing any temporary, empty or Overloaded Mana Crystals.

• Astral Communion will no longer be offered for selection in Arena, since the 15th of September 2016. However, it is still obtainable in Arena matches through random effects, such as Spellslinger.
