' Can you tell us anything of what purple would have been able to do?'. ' What color were you thinking of adding in Planar Chaos?'. ' f you were to add a 6th color to Magic, what color would it be?'. ' 27 Things You Might Have Not Known About Time Spiral Block'. ↑ Mark Rosewater (September 25, 2006).The M21 showcase card frames connected to Liliana Vess are purple, standing in for black as visually more appealing. Finally, Rosewater said that if this were the case, he would look for a new mechanic that plays in a novel space that he would allow only the new color to have access to. This would also allow R&D to make some hybrid cards (probably a cycle) that are purple and another color. It would be a mix of abilities, almost all things the five colors can do, but mixed and matched in such a way that it could do things that wouldn't normally be done in monocolor. This way, instead of it trying to carve out its own space in the color pie, it would borrow equally from all five colors. When asked about the theoretical case of adding purple as a sixth color, Mark Rosewater has said that he would nowadays add it to the center of the color pie, so that it would not specifically be an ally or enemy of any color but rather a totality of all the colors. A purple version of Mana Drain was planned and the basic land would've been either City or Cave. įor Planar Chaos R&D actually playtested purple as a sixth color in the color pie, to convey the alternate reality of the set. Ī sixth color was briefly discussed for Odyssey. It can’t be cast as a spell.Ever since a prank article in the InQuest #22 (February 1997) which featured purple cards (see Gallery), purple has been speculated to be the unreleased sixth color of Magic. 305.9 If an object is both a land and another card type, it can be played only as a land.Any land that doesn’t have this supertype is a nonbasic land, even if it has a basic land type. 305.8 Any land with the supertype “basic” is a basic land.If a land gains one or more land types in addition to its own, it keeps its land types and rules text, and it gains the new land types and mana abilities.

Setting a land’s subtype doesn’t add or remove any card types (such as creature) or supertypes (such as basic, legendary, and snow) the land may have. 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.

305.7 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.

Lands are an important part of any MTG set.Good dual lands usually define what mana bases are possible in a given Constructed format, and colorless utility lands add new possibilities to existing decks. An object with the land card type and a basic land type has the intrinsic ability “. The Mycosynth Gardens Illustration by Andrew Mar. If an object uses the words “basic land type,” it’s referring to one of these subtypes.

305.6 The basic land types are Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest.

See rule 205.3i for the complete list of land types. Land subtypes are also called land types. 305.5 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. 305.4 Effects may also allow players to “put” lands onto the battlefield.Ignore any part of an effect that instructs a player to do so. 305.3 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).305.2 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. Wizards of the Coast announced a variety of new and returning cards for Magic: The Gathering in its upcoming set release, Dominaria United, on Thursday. 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). 305.1 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.
