Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, Snow-Covered lands, and Extraplanar Lens?
Asked by UltraComando 4 years ago
How would the interaction between snow-covered lands that are not affected by Extraplanar Lens and Dryad of the Ilysian Grove work? For example Extraplanar Lens is paired with a Snow-Covered Island and then Dryad of the Ilysian Grove is played with Snow-Covered Forest on the battlefield. Would the Snow-Covered Forest also tap for an additional mana?
The Snow-Covered Forest in your example would be a Basic Snow Land - Plains Island Swamp Mountain Forest and so could tap for any colour of mana, but the extra land types added to the land won't change its name. Extraplanar Lens only causes your lands to produce bonus mana if they share a name with the imprinted card and doesn't care about other lands that share subtypes with it, so you won't get any bonus mana from your lands named Snow-covered Forest even if they are also Islands.

There is no particular interaction.
Extraplanar Lens cares about the name of the imprinted card. If you've imprinted Snow-Covered Island on it, then whenever you tap a land specifically named Snow-Covered Island for mana, you will get an additional mana.
Dryad of the Ilysian Grove gives your lands every basic land type in addition to their other types, but it doesn't change their names. Snow-Covered Forest will be a Plains Island Swamp Mountain Forest, but it is still named Snow-Covered Forest. Since it doesn't share a name with the card imprinted on Extraplanar Lens, it does not tap for extra mana.
Even if you imprinted a basic Forest, the Snow-Covered Forest would not tap for additional mana, because names are not the same.
