Hi, I'm asking what happens when both of these are out. Lets say the Cavern is on Eldrazi, now I understand that while Blood Moon is out the Cavern is a mountain and all of it's other text is removed. My question is what happens if Blood Moon leaves the battlefield? Are the the abilities on Cavern still the same abilities and still linked or are they not considered the same abilities and the second activated ability of Cavern can't be used to pay for eldrazi spells?

Thanks

Yes, the abilities are still linked. Blood Moon made the Cavern's abilities go away for a bit, but it still remembers what creature type was selected when it entered the battlefield, and the second activated ability will still know that choice that was made. You can activate the second ability from the Cavern after the Moon leaves the battlefield, and that ability will still be linked with the choice made as it entered, so you can use that mana to cast Eldrazi creature spells.
