Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]

• 5/1/2009: If the targeted player has become an illegal target by the time Lavalanche resolves, Lavalanche is countered. Nothing will be dealt damage.
• 5/1/2009: Because Lavalanche doesn't target any creatures, it will deal damage to creatures with shroud. Any damage it would deal to creatures with appropriate protection abilities will still be prevented, however.
