Forbidden Crypt

Enchantment, 3BB (5)
If you would draw a card, return a card from your graveyard to your hand instead. If you can't, you lose the game.
If a card would be put into your graveyard, remove that card from the game instead.¹
Illus. D. Alexander Gregory

Crystal Keep Rulings Summaries

• The "if you can't" in the first ability refers to putting the card in your hand, as well as being unable to choose a card. Thus, if you cannot choose a card during resolution, you lose the game. [D'Angelo 1999/07/03]
• The second ability is a replacement effect, not a triggered ability. The card never gets to the graveyard. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• It will replace itself being sent to the graveyard, and remove itself from the game. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01]
• If more than one card is being drawn due to a single effect, apply the replacement as if the cards were being drawn one at a time. [D'Angelo 2000/04/20]
