    Bargain (You may sacrifice an artifact, enchantment, or token as you cast this spell.) Kellan's Lightblades deals 3 damage to target attacking or blocking creature. If this spell was bargained, destroy that creature instead.

    Kellan struck out on pure instinct, and his conjured blades cleaved through the icy guardians as though they were nothing but air.

    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.

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