Official rulings

  1. Counters on Crawling Barrens remain on it when it stops being a creature. If it becomes a creature later, they'll apply to it. (2024-11-08)
  2. You can activate Crawling Barrens's second ability even if it's already a creature. (2024-11-08)
  3. If this becomes a creature but you haven't controlled it continuously since your most recent turn began, you won't be able to activate its mana ability or attack with it that turn. (2024-11-08)
  4. Unless Crawling Barrens is already a creature, its second ability causes the +1/+1 counters to be put onto a noncreature land. Abilities that apply or trigger when counters are put on a creature you control won't do so. (2024-11-08)
