Tribal Enchantments
Asked by Shadow29870 7 years ago
I'm curious, could you use a card such as Smokebraider to pay for Eyes of the Wisents green mana, as it does have elemental in the card type?
When a spell or ability is looking for a specific quality of a card/spell/ability, it looks for that quality and only that quality. Just as Negate looks to see if a spell is a creature spell or not, Smokebraider will look for the spell to have the Elemental subtype or the ability to come from a permanent with the Elemental subtype. If it were to only be for Elemental creature cards, it would say so.
Magic is very explicit on what a card can and cannot do, so there's no inferences that have to be made with cards and what they do.

Yes, as it is an elemental spell.
