About Crystalline Resonance

Crystalline Resonance, Enchantment, designed by Joe Slucher first released in Apr, 2020 in the set Commander 2020 and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 10.93.

A deck that heavily focuses on cycling cards and has a variety of powerful permanents to copy would benefit from Crystalline Resonance, as it allows for versatile and unexpected plays. While this card offers unique flexibility, other cards like Clever Impersonator or Copy Enchantment may provide more consistent value in a wider range of situations, making them potentially better choices for certain decks. However, Crystalline Resonance could still see play in specific strategies aiming for surprise and adaptability.

Rules

04/17/20

Crystalline Resonance copies the printed values of the target permanent, plus any copy effects that have been applied to it. It won’t copy counters on that permanent or effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on. Notably, it won’t copy effects that made the target permanent become a creature.

04/17/20

If an effect begins to apply to Crystalline Resonance before it becomes a copy of another permanent, that effect will continue to apply.

04/17/20

If another permanent becomes a copy of Crystalline Resonance, it will become whatever Crystalline Resonance is copying and it will also have its ability.

04/17/20

If Crystalline Resonance becomes a copy of a legendary permanent you control, you’ll put one of them into its owner’s graveyard.

04/17/20

If Crystalline Resonance becomes a copy of a planeswalker, it won’t receive loyalty counters for that planeswalker’s starting loyalty. Unless it already has loyalty counters on it somehow, it will be put into its owner’s graveyard.

04/17/20

If Crystalline Resonance becomes a copy of an object with a set of linked abilities (for example, one ability that exiles a card and another that refers to the card “exiled with” the object), that link only lasts as long as Crystalline Resonance is copying that object. If it stops being a copy of that object and then becomes a copy again later, the link is lost.

04/17/20

Triggered abilities from cycling a card and the cycling ability itself aren’t spells. Effects that interact with spells (such as that of Cancel) won’t affect them.
