The βif you canβtβ in the first ability refers to putting the card in your hand, as well as being unable to choose a card. Thus, if you canβt choose a card during resolution, you lose the game.

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.
