Izzet mana fixing with blood moon?

[–] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't one of them overwrite the other? Whichever came out last applies?

[–] nxdefiant@startrek.website 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Hmm.

Play this: Nonbasic lands are islands -> Only basic lands are in play now.

Now play bloodmoon: Nonbasic lands are mountains -> doesn't affect anything because there are zero non-basic lands in play.

follow up question: what happens when a new non-basic land enters play?

[–] altec@midwest.social 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

They don't gain the Basic super type, they just lose their subtypes and become Islands instead. So they're still non-basics, so I believe timestamps would apply

[–] TehPers@beehaw.org 2 points 7 months ago

Timestamps do apply. This is why Dryad of the Illysian Grove overwrites Blood Moon's ability if it comes out afterwards (but not before).

Damn man what a card

[–] Vej@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That double pip of blue hurts it a lot as you can't drop basic and a sol land like the dragon stompy/initiative stompy decks tend to do

[–] andrew@mtgzone.com 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah probably by design to keep that play pattern out of the older formats 😕

Seems really good with Merfolk since you'll be able to pump it + turn on Islandwalk with lords
