Rulings
Official rulings from Wizards of the Coast (3).
- 2022-12-08The last ability of Dark Depths is a state trigger. It won't trigger again while the ability is on the stack, but if the ability is countered and Dark Depths is still on the battlefield with no ice counters on it, it will trigger again immediately.
- 2022-12-08If Dark Depths leaves the battlefield before its triggered ability resolves, you won't be able to sacrifice it, so you won't create Marit Lage.
- 2022-12-08Dark Depths doesn't have a mana ability. It doesn't tap for colorless mana.
