Crystal Keep Rulings Summaries

• The "can't regenerate" is an effect of Disintegrate and not an effect of the damage. So it works even if the damage is prevented or redirected away. If redirected, the damage does not take this effect with it. [WotC Rules Team 1994/02/07]
• Disintegrated creatures do not go to the graveyard at all before leaving the game. They do not trigger abilities which happen due to a creature going to the graveyard. [WotC Rules Team 1994/09/15]
• Note - Also see X Costs, Rule G24.1.
