Crystal Keep Rulings Summaries

• Can be used with X equal to zero. This is useful if no Mountains are in play. [bethmo 1994/06/01]
• Casting Magical Hack on Volcanic Eruption will not allow you to change the targets of the spell because you chose the targets when the spell was declared and before a Hack can interrupt it. The Hack will just cause it to be countered since the targets will be illegal. [WotC Rules Team 1994/02/07] It may not be countered on multilands that are half mountain and half of the new land type specified.
• Extended tournaments (see Rule 803) have banned this card since 1999/10/01.
• Note - Also see X Costs, Rule G24.1.
