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.
wotc7 Jun 2024
If you control two Aether Refineries, the amount of {E} you get is four times the original number. Three Aether Refineries multiplies the original number by eight, and so on.
wotc7 Jun 2024
Energy counters are a kind of counter that a player may have. They're not associated with any specific permanents.
wotc7 Jun 2024
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.)
wotc7 Jun 2024
If two or more effects attempt to modify how many {E} you get (or how many counters you would get), you choose the order to apply those effects, no matter who controls the sources of those effects.
wotc7 Jun 2024
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.
