Illusionary Terrain and Stormtide Leviathan
Asked by VictorSilvertome 9 years ago
If i control a Stormtide Leviathan and I cast Illusionary Terrain, making all islands become mountains, will all those lands still be islands aswell since Stormtide says 'in addition to'?

ApocryphalSaint is mostly correct.
You apply these affects in timestamp order since they are not a dependency and apply in the same layer, specifically layer 4.
Stormtide Leviathan would give all lands the type island in addition to their other types. Then Illusionary Terrain would enter the battlefield choosing mountains and make all basic lands mountains. Whenever a card says "becomes ~" then it loses all of the other types unless ~ is an artifact. This effect only applies to basic lands so any non-basic lands will still be islands in addition to their other types.

There is a dependency. Stormtide Leviathan's effect changes what objects Illusionary Terrain's effect applies to in this example. This means that if you choose "Islands -> (whatever)" for Terrain, you always apply Leviathan's effect first regardless of timestamps.

@Rhadamanthus I wish I could read. I thought it said "all basic lands".

Ah. Yeah, though card design at the time was sketchy enough to actually produce a card that powerful, Illusionary Terrain isn't one of those. ;)

NO they would become Mountains. Rules used for judgemetn are
613.7A and 613.7B
basically it goes in timestamped order. the leviathan makes them all Islands then Terrain makes all islands Mountains earasing Leviathians "in addtion". they are all Mountains and only mountains
