Official rulings

  1. The delayed triggered ability will trigger regardless of whether any damage is actually prevented. (2007-05-01)
  2. Although originally printed with a characteristic-defining ability that defined its color, this card now has a color indicator. This color indicator can’t be affected by text-changing effects (such as the one created by Crystal Spray), although color-changing effects can still overwrite it. (2013-06-07)
