Destroy lands combo?
Asked by gameraji75 11 years ago
Both War's Toll and Price of Glory are on the battlefield. If a player has 5 lands, and taps 2 of them for mana during another player's turn, all of them will be tapped because of War's Toll right? But only 2 will be destroyed because those are the ones tapped for mana (not all the 5 tapped lands) and only 2 will be added to mana pool. I just need clarifications.

Your understanding is correct. If a land is tapped by War's Toll 's ability, then it is not tapped for mana. Price of Glory 's ability will not trigger for lands tapped this way.

@Absinthman: you can't cast 2 or more spells or instants when War's Toll is on the battlefield so there is no remaining lands. From the first spell, may it be a sorcery-based speed or instant-based speed, War's Toll 's ability will resolve first before you could even cast another instant (except if you already filled your mana pool without tapping lands).

@gameraji75: That's incorrect. War's Toll 's ability is a triggered ability. It uses the stack, and you can respond to it.
Also, you can tap your lands for mana in response to the War's Toll ability, although that would result in all of those lands being destroyed in this case.

Correct. Unless that player chooses to also tap the remaining lands for mana in response to War's Toll 's trigger.
