Answer

Ruling: You need to exhaust 1 rune of any color (generating 1 energy) and recycle 1 yellow rune (generating 1 yellow power). These can be the same rune done in sequence: exhaust a yellow rune to float 1 energy, then recycle that same rune to generate 1 yellow power.

Sequence:

  • Exhaust 1 rune of any color to generate 1 energy
  • Recycle 1 rune that produces yellow power (can be the same rune)
  • Tap the card

Nuances:

  • Number in circle symbols mean energy (which has no domain type)
  • Colored symbols always mean power
  • Energy and power are different resources
  • The rainbow symbol is the generic version of colored power symbols (can pay or be paid for with any color) but still requires recycling
