Question about land destruction by Ghost Quarter

Asked by Obahai 9 years ago

If my opponent sacrifices Ghost Quarter to destroy my Evolving Wilds , and I tap Evolving Wilds, I will only get to search for 1 basic land?

Yes, you only get one land.

Think of the stack,

-Ghost Quarter ability comes on

-you Remove Evolving Wilds

-Ghost Quarter has no valid target, and is sacrificed with no effect taking place

If you activate Evolving Wilds ' ability in response to the Ghost Quarter activation, the Wilds' ability will resolve first (so you search for a land). The Ghost Quarter 's ability will then fizzle as it has no legal target. It will not resolve at all, so you do not search for a land from the Ghost Quarter .

I would let them target and destroy your Evolving Wilds so the land you search out comes into play untapped.

That is an excellent point.
