As an additional cost to cast this spell, behold a Merfolk and exile it. (Exile a Merfolk you control or a Merfolk card from your hand.) Whenever this creature enters or becomes tapped, tap up to one target creature and put a stun counter on it. When this creature leaves the battlefield, return the exiled card to its owner's hand.

If a cost to cast a spell includes revealing a card, that card remains revealed from the time the spell is announced until the time it leaves the stack.

If an effect refers to a "[subtype] card," it refers only to a card that has that subtype. For example, Glen Elendra's Answer creates a Faerie token and features a Faerie in its art, but it isn't a Faerie card.

If a card in your hand is already revealed (perhaps because it was revealed to pay a cost of a spell that's still on the stack or due to the effect of a card like Telepathy), you may reveal it again to pay the cost of another spell or ability that requires you to reveal a card from your hand.
