Forbidden Crypt

Enchantment

If you would draw a card, return a card from your graveyard to your hand instead. If you can't, you lose the game. If a card would be put into your graveyard from anywhere, exile that card instead.

Printings & Editions

Premodern-legal editions of Forbidden Crypt — old-border printings plus any period-appropriate foil promos (Arena/Judge, through Scourge). Hover to preview an edition on the card; click to select it.

Old-border editions + pre-Scourge promo foils (Arena/Judge). Modern-frame reprints (8th Edition onward) exist but are not period-appropriate printings.

Critical Rulings

"The “if you can’t” in the first ability refers to putting the card in your hand, as well as being unable to choose a card. Thus, if you can’t choose a card during resolution, you lose the game."

— 2004-10-04

"The second ability is a replacement effect, not a triggered ability. The card never gets to the graveyard."

— 2004-10-04

"If more than one card is being drawn due to a single effect, apply the replacement as if the cards were being drawn one at a time."

— 2004-10-04

"It will replace itself being sent to the graveyard, and exile itself."
