Clash
To clash, a player reveals the top card of their library. That player may then put that card on the bottom of their library.
“Clash with an opponent” means “Choose an opponent. You and that opponent each clash.”
A player wins a clash if that player revealed a card with a higher mana value than all other cards revealed in that clash.
Rulings
If the spell is countered or doesn't resolve for any reason (for example, if all its targets become illegal), none of its effects happen. There is no clash, and the spell card won't be returned to your hand.
If you win the clash, the spell moves from the stack to your hand as part of its resolution. It never hits the graveyard. If you don't win the clash, the spell is put into the graveyard from the stack as normal.
