The “if you can’t” in the first ability refers to putting the card in your hand, as well as being unable to choose a card. Thus, if you can’t choose a card during resolution, you lose the game.

The second ability is a replacement effect, not a triggered ability. The card never gets to the graveyard.

If more than one card is being drawn due to a single effect, apply the replacement as if the cards were being drawn one at a time.

It will replace itself being sent to the graveyard, and exile itself.

Price History
To study a single card is to glimpse the heart of a spell - a frozen moment of ambition, artistry, and arcane intent. Within each glyph lies a spark: a story untold, a duel turned, a destiny altered. Treat it not as mere parchment, dear seeker, but as a shard of the Multiverse itself.
