Crystal Keep Rulings Summaries

• Cannot be used to counter the ability of something which is not a permanent, which means it cannot be used on abilities which are played while a card is in the graveyard or hand (such as Cycling). [D'Angelo 1998/10/12]
• This card targets the ability, and not the permanent itself. [D'Angelo 1999/01/13]
• Note - Before errata, this card was of type Interrupt. [Oracle 1999/05/01]
• Note - The "can't be played this turn" text was removed from Oracle 1999/05/01 until Oracle 2006/10/01 when it was put back.
