  Creatures tap as part of the spell resolution. [Aahz 02/02/95]
  If one of the white creatures to be tapped becomes illegal before 
    resolution, the other ones are still tapped but you do not get to 
    destroy the target. [D'Angelo 08/09/95]  This is because a "Do A to do B"
    effect only does B if all targets in part A succeed.
  If the target to be destroyed becomes illegal before resolution, you still
    have to tap the white creatures but get to destroy nothing. 
    [D'Angelo 08/09/95]  This is because a spell only fizzles entirely if
    all of its targets are illegal.
  "Summoning sickness" does not prevent creatures from being tapped as part
    of a spell resolution. [WotC Rules Team 12/15/94]

  Text(AQ): Each time an artifact in play is tapped or its activation cost is
    paid, Haunting Wind does 1 damage to that artifact's controller.  Is not 
    triggered by continuous artifacts.
  It does damage whenever the target artifact's activation cost is paid, or
    when it becomes tapped for any other reason.  It does not do double
    damage if the activation cost requires tapping. [Aahz 06/06/94]
  Does not do damage due to a continuous artifact, even if it becomes tapped.

  The Sand Warriors leave play if Hazezon is placed in an Oubliette or
    Tawnos's Coffin, and they do not come back on the turn after Hazezon
    re-enters play. [WotC Rules Team 09/15/94]  
  The Sand Warriors come into play on a player's side if that player controls
    Hazezon during the player's first upkeep after Hazezon enters play.
    It is possible for no player or all players to get Sand Warriors if
    control of Hazezon changes. [WotC Rules Team 05/10/95]
  The Sand Warriors do not change control after they enter play even if

  Text(IA): When Hecatomb comes into play, sacrifice four creatures. ;
    {0}: Tap target swamp you control to have Hecatomb deal 1 damage to target
    creature or player.
  As errata, the first sentence should read "When Hecatomb comes into play,
    sacrifice four creatures or bury Hecatomb."
    [Duelist Magazine #6, Page 131]
  The sacrifice is done as a triggered effect just after it enters play.  It
    is not done on announcement. [D'Angelo 10/27/95]
  If you have less than 4 creatures, you are not forced to partially 
    sacrifice.  You pay 4 creatures or none. [WotC Rules Team 06/15/95]
  You cannot effectively multiply pump this effect because when you multiply
    pump something you only get to pick one target.  If you did try to pump
    this spell, each use would try to tap the same swamp and not different
    swamps.  Only one use could succeed. [D'Angelo 10/31/95]

  The ability to make itself not be targeted is a fast effect and can be used
    in response to being targeted.  Since effects resolve in last-to-first
    order, the Warrior becomes untargetable before the targeted effect happens
    and causes the targeted effect to fizzle.  Note that if you use this
    ability before being targeted, that a targeted effect used in the same
    batch will resolve first.  [Aahz 12/01/94]  Note that the ability can
    be activated more than once in a single spell stack if you need it to be.
  Does not cause enchantments on it to be removed when the effect is
    activated.  An enchantment in play is neither a spell or an effect.

    player has control of them.
  Read the word "discarded" on the Arabian Nights and Revised Edition versions
    as meaning "destroyed"  This is official errata to the card.

  This is not a targeted spell, and so it may be cast when there are no
    creatures in play. [bethmo]
  Whether or not a creature is Flying is only checked on resolution.

Hurr Jackal:
  Info: Color=XX        Type=XX                    Cost=XX              XX(XX)
  The Jackal's power is not usable during damage prevention.  You must use
    it prior to the damage prevention step.  [bethmo]
  Note that it must be used before fatal damage occurs and that it prevents
    regeneration for the rest of the turn.  You may not use it at the time
    when someone tries to regenerate it because this ability is a fast effect
    that is not allowed at that step of damage prevention.

  You can target any spell or permanent, it need not be red.  It just does
    not do anything unless the color matches. [D'Angelo 06/09/95]
  You can use Sleight of Mind after announcing this spell to change the
    color word and make it do something on resolution. [D'Angelo 06/09/95]
  The decision to counter a spell or destroy a permanent is a decision made
    on announcement before a target of the proper type is selected.  If the
    spell is redirected, this mode cannot be changed, so only targets of
    the selected type are valid. [WotC Rules Team 09/22/95]

  You declare whether you are tapping or untapping the artifact when you
    tap this card.  If the card changes state before this effect happens,
    it does nothing.  It does not toggle the card state. [bethmo 06/19/94]
  As errata, it should be read as saying "any opponent".

Hypnotic Specter:
  Info: Color=Black     Type=Summon Specter        Cost=1BB          ABUR4(C1)
  Text(4th): An opponent damaged by Specter discards a card at random from his
    or her hand.  Ignore this effect if opponent has no cards in hand.
  Text(ABUR): An opponent damaged by Specter must discard a card at random 
    from his or her hand.  Ignore this effect if opponent has no cards left in
    hand.
  Must do at least 1 point of damage to cause opponent to discard because
    the effect is a property of the damage. [WotC Rules Team 02/07/94]
  If damage is redirected to opponent by some spell or effect and is not
    prevented, opponent must discard a card as if they were attacked
    directly. Equally, if damage is redirected away from the player, no
    card needs to be discarded.  [WotC Rules Team 02/07/94]
  If a player discards due to the Specter and later that turn retroactively
    removes the damage (Simulacrum or other effect), the player does not
    get the card back.  [WotC Rules Team 02/07/94]
  The artist's name, Shuler, was misspelled on the Limited/Unlimited Edition
    versions of this card.
