Buried Alive
You can look in your library and then choose to find any number from zero to three creatures after you look at it.
Commandeer
If you Commandeer a spell for which buyback has been paid, the card returns to its owner's hand.
You may change any of the targeted spell's targets. If you change a target, you must choose a legal target for the spell. If you can't, you must leave the target the same (even if that target is now illegal).
You may pay the alternative cost rather than the card's mana cost. Any additional costs are paid as normal.
If the targeted spell has a triggered ability that copies it (for example, replicate or storm), the copies will be controlled by the player who cast that spell.
After Commandeer resolves, you control the targeted spell. Any instance of "you" in that spell's text now refers to you, "an opponent" refers to one of your opponents, and so on. The change of control happens before new targets are chosen, so any targeting restrictions such as "target opponent" or "target creature you control" are now made in reference to you, not the spell's original controller. You may either change those targets to be legal in reference to you, or, if those are the spell's only targets, the spell doesn't resolve for having illegal targets. When the spell resolves, any illegal targets are unaffected by it and you make all decisions the spell's effect calls for.
If you don't have two cards of the right color in your hand, you can't choose to cast the spell using the alternative cost.
You can't exile a card from your hand to pay for itself. At the time you would pay costs, that card is on the stack, not in your hand.
If you gain control of an instant or sorcery spell with Commandeer, it will still be put into its owner's graveyard when it resolves.
Genesis Wave
If a card in a player's library has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
If a permanent card in your library has no mana symbols in its upper right corner (because it's a land card, for example), its mana value is 0. Such cards can always be put onto the battlefield with Genesis Wave.
You don't have to put permanent cards revealed this way onto the battlefield if you choose not to, regardless of their mana values.
A permanent card is an artifact, battle, creature, enchantment, land, or planeswalker card.
All of the permanents put onto the battlefield this way enter at the same time. If any have triggered abilities that trigger on something else entering, they'll see each other.
If you have fewer than X cards in your library, you reveal all of them.
Illusionist's Gambit
Creatures that didn't attack during the combat phase when Illusionist's Gambit resolved aren't required to attack in the additional combat phase, although they may. Those creatures can attack you or a planeswalker you control.
If, during a player's declare attackers step, a creature is tapped, is affected by a spell or ability that says it can't attack, or hasn't been under that player's control continuously since the turn began (and doesn't have haste), then it doesn't attack.
If there's a cost associated with having a creature attack, the player isn't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack.
Wrath of the Skies
Some triggered abilities state that you "may pay" a certain amount of {E}. You can't pay that amount multiple times to multiply the effect. You simply choose whether or not to pay that amount of {E} as the ability resolves.
Choosing not to pay any {E} will have the same result as choosing to pay zero {E}. In either of these cases, each artifact, creature, and enchantment with a mana value of 0 will be destroyed.
{E} is the energy symbol. It represents one energy counter.
If a permanent on the battlefield has {X} in its mana cost, X is 0 when determining its mana value.
If a spell or ability with one or more targets states that you "may pay" some amount of {E}, and each permanent that it targets has become an illegal target, the spell or ability won't resolve. You can't pay any {E} even if you want to.
Energy counters are a kind of counter that a player may have. They're not associated with any specific permanents.
If an effect says you get one or more {E}, you get that many energy counters. To pay one or more {E}, 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.
Energy counters aren't mana. They don't go away as steps, phases, and turns end, and effects that add mana "of any type" can't give you energy counters.
Some triggered abilities that state that you "may pay" a certain amount of {E} describe an effect that happens "If you do." In that case, no player may take actions to try to stop the ability's effect after you make your choice. If the payment is followed by the phrase "When you do," then you'll choose any targets for that reflexive triggered ability and put it on the stack before players can take actions.
Some spells and abilities that give you {E} 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 {E}.
Keep track of how many energy counters each player has. Potential ways to track this include writing theme 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.)
