How does Sowing Salt interact with a Vesuva copying a land
Asked by tyforthevenom 9 years ago
Example Vesuva is copying Urza's Tower

This is the Oracle text for Sowing Salt:
Exile target nonbasic land. Search its controller's graveyard, hand, and library for all cards with the same name as that land and exile them. Then that player shuffles his or her library.
The significant factor here is that Sowing Salt checks the name of the land while it's on the battlefield (it says "same name as that land" rather than "same name as that card"), so the search and exile part of the effect will pertain to whatever Vesuva copied rather than to Vesuva itself (unless it wasn't copying anything).

Vesuva becomes a copy of the land you choose in its entirety. So Sowing Salt would see a Urza's Tower for all intents and purposes.
