Cyclopean Tomb
    Color= Artifact Type= Artifact Cost= 4 A(R)/B(R)/U(R)
    Text (ABU+errata): {2},{Tap}: Put a mire counter on target non-Swamp land. That land is a Swamp for as long as it has a mire counter on it. Activate this ability only during your upkeep. ; When ~this~ is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, at the beginning of each of your upkeeps for the rest of the game, remove all mire counters from a land that a mire counter was put onto with ~this~ but that a mire counter has not been removed from with ~this~. [Oracle 2009/07/08]
  • If this card leaves play to a zone other than the graveyard, the ability that removes counters over time will not trigger and those counters will remain indefinitely. [D'Angelo 2008/07/12]
  • A changed land is considered to be the new land type in all ways. This is not just a change of name. It changes the color of mana produced too. [Mirage, Page 58]
  • Will not add or remove Snow-Covered nature from a land. [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 132]
  • If by any chance more than one counter is on the same land, you can remove older ones before newer ones. For example Mountain changed to Swamp by the Tomb, then someone Phantasmal Terrains the land to Island, then you Swamp it again. Removing the newest counter reverts the land to an Island. Removing the oldest one leaves the newer one in effect. [bethmo 1994/05/09]
  • After leaving play, the ability will only remove counters that this instance of the card created. [D'Angelo 2001/08/31]
    Each instance of this card will make its own removal ability, so it's possible to remove more than one each turn if there was more than one Tomb in play over time. [D'Angelo 2008/07/12]
  • Extended tournaments (see Rule 913) have always banned this card.
  • Note - No mana cost was listed in the Alpha printing of the Limited Edition. This was corrected in the Beta printing. [Duelist Magazine #2, Page 68]
  • Note - The card is of type "Artifact" and not "Mono Artifact". [Duelist Magazine #3, Page 79]
