Crystal Keep Rulings Summaries

  • The ability is a mana ability, so it is played and resolves as a mana ability, but it can only be played at times when you can play an instant. [bethmo 1999/11/17] Yes, this is a bit weird, but it does mean that this ability does not go on the stack and cannot be countered. [D'Angelo 2007/08/23]
  • You can discard a hand of zero cards to use this effect. [Duelist Magazine #16, Page 28]
  • Vintage tournaments (see Rule 801) have restricted this card since 2004/01/01.
  • Legacy tournaments (see Rule 802) banned this card from 2004/01/01 until 2004/09/20.
