Basalt Monolith. The phrase “can be untapped at any time for 3 mana” should be change to “can be untapped at any time at a cost of 3 mana.”
Birds of Paradise. The mana this card adds to your mana pool can be of any color.
Channel. This card should read: “Until end of turn, you may add colorless mana to your mana pool at a cost of 1 life each. These additions are played with the speed of an interrupt. Effects that prevent damage may not be used to counter this loss of life.”
Circle of Protection: Red. The artist for this card is Mark Tedin.
Cyclopean Tomb. The casting cost for this artifact was left out. The cost is four mana of any or no color.
Death Ward. The artist for this card is Mark Poole.
Karma. Players only take damage from their own swamps.
Mana Short. Since the target player’s mana pool is emptied, the target player takes no damage from unspent mana.
Sedge Troll. The artist for this card is Dan Frazier.
Tropical Island. The artist for this card is Jesper Myrfors.
Unsummon. The phase “CARD ed” should be replaced with “discarded.”
Mana symbols. Several of the cards erroneously use capital letters in place of mana symbols. Where this occurs, an “R” stands for red mana, a “G” stands for green mana, a “W” stands for white mana, a “B” stands for black mana, and a “U” stands for blue mana, which we sometimes jokingly refer to as “uble” mana. As far as we know, this problem only occurred on the following cards: Drain Life, Rock Hydra, Force of Nature, Demonic Hordes, and Phantasmal Forces.
