Rulings
- 2009-05-01:
If the targeted player has become an illegal target by the time Lavalanche resolves, Lavalanche doesn’t resolve. Nothing will be dealt damage.
- 2009-05-01:
Because Lavalanche doesn’t target any creatures, it will deal damage to creatures with shroud. Any damage it would deal to creatures with appropriate protection abilities will still be prevented, however.
