Errata 

Effective August 1, 1999, the following errata are issued: 

  Iridescent Drake receives the same erratum as the "free" creatures. 
  It should read, "When Iridescent Drake comes into play, if you 
  played it from your hand, return target enchant creature card from a
  graveyard to play enchanting Iridescent Drake. (You control that
  enchantment.)" 

  Lion's Eye Diamond should read, "Sacrifice Lion's Eye Diamond, Discard
  your hand: Add three mana of any one color to your mana pool. Play 
  this ability as an instant." This erratum causes Lion's Eye Diamond to
  function as it did under Fifth Edition rules. 

  Lotus Vale should read, "When Lotus Vale comes into play, you may
  sacrifice two untapped lands. If you don't, sacrifice Lotus Vale. If
  you do, Lotus Vale gains 'T: Add three mana of any one color to your
  mana pool.'" This erratum causes Lotus Vale to function as it did 
  under Fifth Edition rules; you can't tap it for mana without first
  sacrificing two untapped lands. 

  Scorched Ruins should read, "When Scorched Ruins comes into play, you
  may sacrifice two untapped lands. If you don't, sacrifice Scorched Ruins.
  If you do, Scorched Ruins gains 'T: Add four colorless mana to your mana
  pool.'" This erratum causes Scorched Ruins to function as it did under
  Fifth Edition rules; you can't tap it for mana without first sacrificing
  two untapped lands. 

Explanation of Banned and Restricted List 

  Generally, the DCI will announce bannings and restrictions only on the
  scheduled announcement days. However, because the Urza's Destiny card
  set was released so close to July 1, and because this year's World
  Championships will take place before September 1, we had to act swiftly
  in the interest of tournament integrity. This announcement does not
  replace the usual September 1 announcement. 

  Yawgmoth's Bargain is banned in Extended because it creates too many
  first-turn wins.
