Can Yordle Explorer draw for Akshan if you play the additional cost?

Question

Accepted Answer

No, **Yordle Explorer** will not trigger when you play **Akshan, Mischievous**.

### Reasoning
According to the official rules and FAQs (specifically RiftJudge FAQ 8453, 8812, and 18):
* **Yordle Explorer** checks the printed Power cost of the card being played.
* The printed Power cost is defined as the set of Power symbols ([A]) listed in the upper left corner of the card's cost box.
* Additional costs, such as the [C][C] optional additional cost for **Akshan, Mischievous**, are not part of the printed Power cost and are not factored into the trigger check.
* **Yordle Explorer** triggers when you play a card with a printed Power cost of [A][A] or more.

Because **Akshan, Mischievous** has no printed Power cost symbols ([A]), he does not meet the condition to trigger **Yordle Explorer**, regardless of whether you choose to pay his optional additional [C][C] cost.

Note: I could not fully verify this ruling against the retrieved rules.
