Card rulings 5
  1. Bargain means "As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may sacrifice an artifact, enchantment, or token."
  2. Bargain represents an optional additional cost. A spell cast with that additional cost paid is "bargained."
  3. You may sacrifice only one artifact, enchantment, or token to pay a spell's bargain cost.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.

Beseech the Mirror combines an unrestricted tutor with the possibility of casting the selected card immediately. Its bargain ability lets you sacrifice an artifact, enchantment, or token as an additional cost. If bargained, it can cast the found spell without paying its mana cost when that spell has mana value four or less; otherwise, the found card goes to your hand.

Treasure, Food, Clue, and creature tokens provide convenient bargain material, although sacrificing one to bargain does not also activate that token's usual ability. Black decks with cards such as Bitterblossom can maintain an expendable resource while preserving more important permanents. The triple-black requirement favors a dependable black mana base even when the card you plan to find belongs to another color in your deck.

Four-mana engines such as The One Ring fit the immediate-cast range, while a combo deck may find a cheaper missing piece and deploy it during the tutor's resolution. The spell also remains useful without bargain when you simply need a specific card. That flexibility means it can support both planned lines and reactive searches for an answer.

Think through the sacrifice before casting. Losing an important enchantment just to save mana on the found spell may weaken the overall position. If you choose not to cast the exiled card, or cannot cast it through the offered permission, it goes to your hand. The best builds supply disposable bargain material naturally and have several worthwhile targets within the four-mana range.
