Does Quicksilver Fountain effect Snow-Covered Islands?

Asked by StopShot 6 years ago

Cards: Quicksilver Fountain, Snow-Covered Island

I know Quicksilver Fountain turns Non-Islands into Islands with no other abilities, but what constitutes as an Island if say on my battlefield I control a Snow-Covered Island, a Breeding Pool and a Moonring Island and I need to put a flood counter on one of my lands. What can I target or can I not target with the flood counter?

Does Quicksilver Fountain only check if "Island" is in the name, or if it has the Island basic land type, or can it always target lands that aren't just regular basic Islands? Thanks for your help.

An Island is any permanent with the basic land type "Island," including Island, Snow-Covered Island, Moonring Island, Underground Sea, etc.

An effect will specify if it cares about a card's name rather than its type.
