If an effect includes “you may,” you may choose not to resolve that part of the effect.

If an effect on a card allows or requires you to do something but another effect prevents it, the preventing effect always takes precedence.
If an effect has a cost, you may choose not to pay it and thus not activate the effect.
When cards or effects specify “up to,” you can choose none or 0 (unless there’s a specified minimum).

A game value can be a negative number.
When a game value is a negative number, it is treated as 0 for all references and comparisons of values.
