Can land creatures be found by fetch lands in my deck?

Asked by Be_Jamin 1 year ago

I have Ashaya, Soul of the Wild on the battle field. If I play Brokers Hideout could I find a creature card within my deck due to Ashaya, Soul of the Wild's CDA? Or does the creature not become a land until it is on the battlefield?

No, this won't work. Ashaya's ability only affects creatures on the battlefield, for two key reasons: Only objects on the stack and battlefield have a "controller", and when an effect names a permanent type and doesn't also specifically say "spell" or "card [in a zone]" then it only means a permanent of that type on the battlefield.

Another problem: Brokers Hideout can only get basic lands. Even if Ashaya's ability was different and specifically affected creature cards in your library, it doesn't make them basic.
