Liliana of the Dark Realms and shock lands?
Asked by julesleos 11 years ago
So if I have Liliana of the Dark Realms in play and I use her +1 ability to "search your library for a swamp card, reveal it, and put it into your hand...." can I use this ability to fetch a shock land like Blood Crypt since it's card type is Land- Swamp Mountain?
By the same rationale, can I use her -6 ability to make shock lands that are partially swamps tap for BBBB??
Thanks for your time!
I feel like I should point out that when you get Lili's Emblem your Blood Crypt will read like this:
T: Add a R or B to your mana pool.
T: Add BBBB to your mana pool.
This means your shock land will either be tapped for a Red or for 4 Black, you can't tap it and get 5 mana out of it.

Yep, I realize that, just didn't know if I'd be able to tap for BBBB at all with the shock lands. Thanks for the clarification though!

Minor correction,
"This means your shock land will either be tapped for a Red or for 4 Black, you can't tap it and get 5 mana out of it."
This means your Blood Crypt will now tap for a red mana, a black mana, or four black mana. You still have the option of tapping the first ability and only producing one black mana, if there was an interaction where that became relevant (an example would be something like an older card where the opponent taps all of their lands, drains all mana into their pool, and gives it the caster...cant remember the name).

Yep, this works the way you want it. Liliana of the Dark Realms only cares about if the card is a Swamp; basic or nonbasic, doesn't matter.
