Crystal Keep Rulings Summaries

• This ability is paid for during the declare attackers step of the combat phase (see Rule 308). [Aahz 1995/01/27]
• Paying Brainwash is not an instant or any other kind of ability, it is a cost increase on the declaration of the attacker. This makes it much like the way Gloom makes a white spell more expensive to cast. [WotC Rules Team 1998/03/01]
• If there are multiple combat phases during the turn, the attack cost must be paid each time if you want to attack with the creature. [D'Angelo 1999/08/01]
• Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.30.
• Note - This card was of type "Enchant Creature" until Oracle 2005/08/01.
