Koth's -5 ability
Asked by swkelly89 11 years ago
when i get the emblem for Koth of the Hammer 's - 5 ability, do i still add one R to my mana pool or do i have to clarify that im tapping for mana or damage?

You'll have to clarify which. You can't pay the same cost for 2 different activated abilities, the same way you can't use 1 mana to pay for 2 different spells.

The damage ability is separate from the mana ability, and only one of them can be activated when you tap the Mountain . Older printings of basic lands had the full text of the mana ability written out on the card, but this was changed around the release of 6th Edition to make them look nicer.

You can choose to either tap for mana or to do the damage, you can't do both.
