Fetchland question from a fairly new player
Asked by gro0ve 10 years ago
Hey all,
I'm wondering if cracking a fetchland counts as your land drop for the turn?
ex. Turn 1 I play Polluted Delta , Turn 2 I crack delta and play a swamp, can I now play a 2nd land that turn or have I made my land drop already?
Mainly I'm wondering because I play a control heavy deck and like using fetchlands for their shuffle deck ability with courser in play. Does this limit my ability to play lands when I need them early to mid game?

It does not. "Playing a land" is taking a land card from your hand to the battlefield. Effects that put land into play (Rampant Growth , Terramorphic Expanse , etc) do not count as playing a land for your turn.
Also, please ask technical rules questions like this on the Q+A page in the future.

Why are you playing a control heavy deck with a courser of kruphix?

Rules questions should be asked in the Q&A, which is linked in the header. I can't move this to the Q&A, so I'm going to move it to BE instead.

Yup, I'm aware of that now, thanks for moving it, Infact you can probably delete it since the question has been answered.
2nd. FacebookFrenzy, Courser provides lots of nice functions in BUG control and has seen use in that fashion in many pro-tour decks, I think the real question is, in this colour selection, why wouldn't you? But I digress, the original question has been answered and your question has nothing to do with the topic so I'll end it here.

If you run green, you run courser n caryatids, simple as that :)

short answer,fetching for a land does not count as a land drop. but to clarify, when you crack a fetch the land you search for goes to the battlefield, not your hand, so youre not "playing" the fetched land
