Crystal Keep Rulings Summaries

• You target a card in play which is a "Creature" or "Artifact Creature" card, even if that card is not currently a creature due to some effect. [D'Angelo 1999/06/01] Older cards of type Summon can also be targeted.
• You can choose the sacrificed creature as the target, but if you do so the effect will fizzle on resolution and you will not get to look for a creature. [Duelist Magazine #25, Page 31]
• You look for a card of the same name, the current type of the card does not matter. [WotC Rules Team 1998/03/18]
• If a copy card, such as Clone, is targeted by this effect, you get to look for another copy of the card it is copying (not the Clone card). This is because a copy card actually takes on the name and initial characteristics of what it copies. [WotC Rules Team 1999/03/18]
• You do not have to find a card if you do not want to. See Rule G19.4. [D'Angelo 2001/07/14]
