Courser of Kruphix, how doe it affect land drops?

Asked by Drathen 11 years ago

I'll explain,

how exactly when it says, ''You may play the top card of your library if its a land card'' does it work?

Does it bypass the 1 land per turn restriction?

Nope. Gatherer:

• Playing a land with the second ability counts as your land play for the turn. If you play a land from your hand during your turn, you wont be able to play an additional land from the top of your library unless another effect allows you to.

No, unless a card specifically notes that you may play additional lands you may only play one land per turn.

305.2b A player cant play a land, for any reason, if the number of lands the player can play this turn is equal to or less than the number of lands he or she has already played this turn. Ignore any part of an effect that instructs a player to do so.

Taken from gatherer ruling of Courser of Kruphix:

"Playing a land with the second ability counts as your land play for the turn. If you play a land from your hand during your turn, you wont be able to play an additional land from the top of your library unless another effect allows you to."

So if you had 4 x Courser of Kruphix on the battlefield you could play up to 4 lands per turn?

No. No where on Courser of Kruphix does it say you may play an additional land. An example of a card that would is Oracle of Mul Daya .

The only thing that'd happen if you had four Courser of Kruphix out would be you'd gain 4 life for playing a land.
