On Tohunga's second option, must you gain 1 mana before you can return an Unrest or abandon Overpopulation, and can you skip that option if you cannot gain mana?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes on both counts. Everything before 'to' is a cost, so the second option requires gaining 1 mana even when no Unrest can be returned. If you cannot gain the mana, you cannot choose that option, including the abandon, and if you cannot pay either option you cannot play Tohunga.
