  Cards enter play tapped.  They do not come into play untapped and then
    immediately tap,  therefore they do not trigger any effects due to
    tapping. [Aahz 06/28/94]  Face-down creatures due to Illusionary Mask will
    come into play tapped and face-down.
  You choose one player on casting and it only affects that one player.  This
    target is not changed even if this card changes controllers.  It becomes 
    useless but stays in play if the target player leaves play.
    [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 64]
  As errata to the Legends version of the card, it should read "target player"
    instead of "opponent".  This means you can use it on yourself. 
    [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 64] The Fourth Edition version says this.

    [Duelist Magazine #4, Page 138]

    count as drawing a card. [Aahz 08/11/94]

Kormus Bell:
  Info: Color=XX        Type=XX                    Cost=XX              XX(XX)
  As errata, the Fourth Edition version of this card should not say "black".
    The created creatures are colorless. [Duelist Magazine #5, Page 11]
  See the @{"Animated Lands and Artifacts" link MTG_GEN_RULINGS.guide/TOP_ANIM} entry in the General Rulings for
    more information.
  The lands are both lands and creatures at the same time.
  This does mean lands owned by any and all players.
  Wrath of God will destroy them without possibility of regeneration.
  Nevinyrral's Disk and Armageddon will destroy them.
  With Balance, consider them both as lands and as creatures.  Just remove
    whatever you have to in order to achieve "balance".  And yes, this does
    mean that they get double-counted :-(
  Animated Swamps are affected by Smoke and Winter Orb. [bethmo]
  Consecrate Land does not protect the land from being affected by the Bell.

@node KROVV "Krovikan Vampire"

Krovikan Vampire:
  Info: Color=Black     Type=Summon Vampire        Cost=3BB             IA(U1)
  Text(IA): 3/3 ; At the end of a turn in which any creature is damaged by
    Krovikan Vampire and put into any graveyard, put that creature directly
    into play under your control.  Treat the creature as though it were just
    summoned.  If you lose control of Krovikan Vampire or Krovikan Vampire
    leaves play, bury the creature.
  You do not get the creature back if the creature is not still in the
    graveyard at the end of the turn. [Aahz 06/10/95]
  If the creature goes to the graveyard, then leaves the graveyard by some
    means, then the Vampire effect loses track of it.  It will not give you
    control of the creature even if the creature goes back to the graveyard
    before the end of the turn. [Aahz 11/21/95]
  You do get the permanent back if the card that went to the graveyard is
    no longer a creature. [Aahz 07/12/95]
  Works no matter how he damages the creature: in combat, in the Arena, or
    by some other effect. [D'Angelo 08/01/95]
  The Krovikan Vampire effect remembers who was controlling it when it damaged
    the creature.  At the end of the turn, the creature will come under that
    player's control.  If at that time, the player does not also control the
    Vampire, the creature is immediately buried again (as per the Vampire's
    text that you bury the creature if you lose control of the Vampire).

@node KUDZU "Kudzu"

Kudzu:
  Info: Color=XX        Type=XX                    Cost=XX              XX(XX)
  Read this card as "If target land becomes tapped, target land's controller
    moves Kudzu to another land in play and destroys the previous target.
    Destroy Kudzu if it has no valid target."  This is official errata to
    the card. [Duelist Magazine #3, Page 79]
  If the land with Kudzu on it is destroyed by some spell or effect (rather
    than tapping) Kudzu is placed in the graveyard. [Snark]
  If a land somehow has both Blight and Kudzu on it, they will both attempt
    to destroy the land.  The Kudzu will move on to another land.  The land
    only needs to be saved once (and not once for each). [Aahz 07/25/94]
  Yes, you can move it to any other player's land whenever you get to move
    it.  [Card text]
  Leaves play once there are no lands which it can be placed on. Consecrated 
    lands are protected. [bethmo]
  Although the person making choices with this spell changes regularly, the
    "controller" of the enchantment does not change.  It is always the caster
    who is the controller.
  If it is on a Strip Mine which is used, the Kudzu ability is triggered at
    the same time the Mine is sacrificed.  You have to move the Kudzu to
    a new land.  You do not get to simply bury it. [WotC Rules Team 09/22/95]
