• If Gaea's Blessing is moved into the graveyard by an effect, it is dealt with as a triggered ability. This means you wait for the next appropriate time before shuffling your graveyard into your library.

11. Skittering Skirge

• The triggered ability triggers when the creature spell is announced, and it is put on the stack before any responses can be played. This ability will resolve before that creature comes into play. [D'Angelo 2000/01/02]
• A creature spell is any "Creature" or "Artifact Creature" spell. [D'Angelo 1999/05/01] Older cards of type Summon are also Creature cards.

• If split for multiple targets, each target can receive only one of the splits. You may not multiply target something. [bethmo 1994/06/01]
• If the damage to creatures is redirected to the player (via Jade Monolith or other effect), the damage from the Fireball can all be prevented with one use of a Circle of Protection. The trick is that all damage from one use of a spell/ability can be prevented at once. [WotC Rules Team 1996/10/03]
