Rulings
- 2006-05-01:
The creature is sacrificed when Bound resolves. It’s not an additional cost. It’s not optional. If you can’t sacrifice a creature or a colorless creature is sacrificed, no cards are returned.
- 2006-05-01:
The cards in the graveyard that you return as part of Bound’s effect aren’t targeted. They’re chosen when the spell resolves. The creature you sacrificed may be one of them.
- 2006-05-01:
After Determined resolves, any spells or abilities that would counter a spell you control that turn will still resolve. They just won’t counter that spell.
- 2006-05-01:
Spells you control may be countered by spells or abilities while Determined is on the stack, waiting to resolve.
