When a land becomes creature, can you kill it?
Some lands have an ability to become a creature, but they usually say they are still a land. If a land is a 3/3 creature and a land, can you target and kill it with a Lightning Bolt to send it to the graveyard, or does it remain in play as a land?

O
O?
There is a triple letter tile to the right of the bottom O, indicated with a ?.

How do I find out a fair price for my Magic the Gathering cards?

Why was Kird Ape banned in very first Extended ban list?
I'm curious as to what sort of reasoning went behind Kird Ape being too strong for Extended play? Granted this was many years ago but I was surprised to see that it was banned in a format that allowed powerful cards like Necropotence.

What's the difference between Pandemic Legacy Red and Blue?
So, basically what the title says. Is there any difference at all in the contents of the boxes or anything else? (without spoilers!)
Maybe it'll make a difference in "Season 2"? (it does say "Season 1" on the box after all).
