• Jun 6, 2025 If a creature you control would enter the battlefield with a number of +1/+1 counters on it, it enters with twice that many instead.
• Jun 6, 2025 If one of the creatures is an illegal target and the other one isn't as The Earth Crystal's last ability tries to resolve, the original distribution of counters applies and the counter that would have been put on the illegal target is lost. It won't be put on the remaining legal target instead.
• Jun 6, 2025 If the rare case where you control two of The Earth Crystal, the number of +1/+1 counters put on a creature is four times the original number. Three of The Earth Crystal multiplies the original number by eight, and so on.
• Jun 6, 2025 If two or more effects attempt to modify how many counters would be put onto a creature you control, you choose the order to apply those effects, no matter who controls the sources of those effects.
• Jun 6, 2025 The cost reduction applies only to generic mana in the total cost of green spells you cast.
