If he or she does, untap that creature. [Oracle 2009/07/08]
  • You can Dance of the Dead a creature which was discarded from a hand and therefore was never in play. [D'Angelo 1997/06/01]
  • Dance of the Dead becomes a creature enchantment spell and so it does activate the Rabid Wombat and trigger other cards which use creature enchantments. [Aahz 1997/06/06]
  • This is a targeted ability. Note that cards in the graveyard do not have Protection from Color abilities. [D'Angelo 2002/12/19]
  • If more than one Dance of the Dead ends up on a creature, each contributes a +1/+1. [D'Angelo 1995/09/25]
    But you only have to pay the untap cost once. [D'Angelo 2000/03/09]
    You may pay for each one, however, and untap the card more than once during upkeep. [DeLaney 2000/03/11]
  • Note - Also see Aura, Rule G1.31.
  • Note - This card was of type "Enchant Dead Creature" until 1997/06/01, and then of type "Enchantment" until Oracle 2005/08/01.
