Quick Question About Shimmer

Asked by theindigoeffect 8 years ago

If I play Shimmer and name an island as a land type, would that enchantment technically affect me if all my lands are Snow-Covered Islands?

Cards only do what they say. If you give an island phasing, ask yourself, "is a snow covered island, an island?" If you do that with most cards it answers a lot of questions. So the answer is yes. They're still islands.

Yes. Snow-Covered Island has the land type "Island."

Shimmer doesn't care what the cards are named. It cares about land types.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
