Question about total mana gain with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Crypt Ghast and Temple of the False God

Asked by AthenaLokman 8 years ago

Hello everybody! :)

I just would like some clarifications about these three cards and their effects.

Lets say I have 5 lands (3 Island, 1 Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth , 1 Temple of the False God) and Crypt Ghast in play.

Now that all lands are now considered swamps, does that mean that if I choose to tap my Island for mana, I still get one black mana from Crypt Ghast as I have tapped a swamp for mana? What about the Temple of the False God? Those this mean that I get 2 colorless mana PLUS one more black mana since it is now also a swamp?

Thank you in advance for any help rendered! :)

Correct. Cards do exactly what they say. If something turns your lands into basic Swamps (in addition to their other types or not), then Crypt Ghast's triggered mana ability will happen, adding an additional .

If you tap an Island for mana, you will get an additional in your mana pool whether you tapped it for or (via Urborg).

Same with Temple of the False God. If tapped for mana, you will gain a total of in your mana pool.
