Rulings
- December 1, 2004 — Shell of the Last Kappa’s first ability can only target a spell that targets you.
- December 1, 2004 — Exiling a spell prevents that spell from resolving, but it doesn’t technically “counter” anything. This means that Shell of the Last Kappa can exile spells which “can’t be countered.”
