Note that this doesn’t remove any abilities that were granted to the land by other effects. It loses all abilities generated from its rules text, its old land types, and any copy effects affecting that land, and it gains the appropriate mana ability for each new basic land type. If an effect sets a land’s subtype to one or more of the basic land types, the land no longer has its old land type. A land with a basic land type has the intrinsic ability “. If an object uses the words “basic land type,” it’s referring to one of these subtypes. The basic land types are Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest. See rule 205.3i for the complete list of land types.Įxample: “Basic Land - Mountain” means the card is a land with the subtype Mountain. Land subtypes are also called land types. Land subtypes are always a single word and are listed after a long dash. This isn’t the same as “playing a land” and doesn’t count as a land played during the current turn. Effects may also allow players to “put” lands onto the battlefield. Ignore any part of an effect that instructs a player to do so. A player can’t play a land, for any reason, if it isn’t their turn. 305.2b A player can’t play a land, for any reason, if the number of lands the player can play this turn is equal to or less than the number of lands they have already played this turn.If the number of lands the player can play is greater, the play is legal. 305.2a To determine whether a player can play a land, compare the number of lands the player can play this turn with the number of lands they have already played this turn (including lands played as special actions and lands played during the resolution of spells and abilities).A player can normally play one land during their turn however, continuous effects may increase this number. Since the land doesn’t go on the stack, it is never a spell, and players can’t respond to it with instants or activated abilities. Rather, the player simply puts the land onto the battlefield. Playing a land is a special action it doesn’t use the stack (see rule 116). A player who has priority may play a land card from their hand during a main phase of their turn when the stack is empty.
