If I draw 3x Isolated Chapel....

Asked by fitzjmm 12 years ago

If I draw 3x Isolated Chapel in my opening hand and that's it for mana. I play 1 tapped the first turn. Do I get to play the other un-tapped or does it also get played tapped? Does the Isolated Chapel count as a both a plain and Swamp after it's played for future ones?

It will say plains or swamp in the card type if it counts as one. Since Isolated Chapel is just a "Land", the others come into play tapped until you have a swamp or plains. A Swamp card says "Basic Land - Swamp". The old dual lands like Volcanic Island say specifically that it counts as an island and mountain and the ravinca shock lands, like Sacred Foundry do count as both because it says it is a "Land - Mountain Plains". Always read the card type and it will tell you exactly what it effects and doesn't effect.

As BrokenZygoma explained, being able to produce mana of a certain color does not make a land the appropriate land type. Isolated Chapel is neither a Swamp nor a Plains since its typeline does not include those words. On the other hand, Scrubland , Godless Shrine , Mistveil Plains , and Leechridden Swamp are all Swamps, Plains, or both.
