How does Blood moon work

Asked by majorsnake 12 years ago

So if blood moon is on the battlefield would scadling tarn fetch maybe a sunpetal grove?

doinitwrong says... Accepted answer #1

No

Blood Moon only affects nonbasic lands on the battlefield, lands elsewhere are not affected until they come into play. You can't use Scalding Tarn to fetch because it's a mountain, the only ability it has is "T: add R to your mana pool." Blood Moon 's ability is a replacement effect, not an additional effect like Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth . This means that all nonbasic lands lose all of their preexisting abilities and gain the subtype "Mountain" and the aforementioned mana ability.

so when you play scalding tarn with blood moon on the field. scalding tarn can only tap for 1 red mana? what about if urborg, tomb of yawgmoth is on the battle field and you cast marsh flats. would that allow you to fetch any basic or non-basic land also?

btw i dont know how to link the cards like you did how do you do that?

To link to cards, decks, and other users, put the name in double brackets.

example: typing [ [ majorsnake ] ] without the spaces creates a link to your profile, majorsnake.

Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth also only affects lands on the battlefield, so Isolated Chapel can't be fetched by Marsh Flats because it isn't in play and thus isn't a swamp. That's what makes dual lands like Underground Sea and Sacred Foundry so powerful (and expensive), they have basic subtypes so they can be fetched.

Blood Moon basically turns every nonbasic land into the card Mountain . They will have no other abilities other than "Tap: Add one red mana to your mana pool". Imagine picking up the card, and replacing it with the card Mountain .

To link a card, add double brackets to it, like this: [ [Mountain] ]. Only with no spaces.

I guess to link to GreatSword you have to make the markdown link yourself:

Put the text you want to display (in this case, "GreatSword") in single brackets with the url of his profile in parentheses right after.

[GreatSword]-(http://tappedout.net/users/GreatSword/) minus the dash = GreatSword

thats to much he can stay cardboard

[ [user:GreatSword] ], minus the spaces.

Also, a technical nitpick about post #2, you don't cast lands.
