To play a card means to play a land or to cast a spell that's a card (and not a copy of a card).

If multiple effects modify your hand size, apply them in timestamp order. For example, if you put Spellbook (an artifact that says you have no maximum hand size) onto the battlefield and then put Recycle onto the battlefield, your maximum hand size will be two. However, if those permanents entered in the opposite order, you would have no maximum hand size.

Countering a spell that has been cast will not prevent you from drawing the card.

Context

This printing is one of 2 catalogued treatments from TMP — the lineup includes Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #248 of *Tempest*, the set that shipped alongside the October 1997 Tempest release.

Card type: Enchantment, color identity green, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters. Mana cost: {4}{G}{G} (6 converted).

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #16,126 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
