Urban Utopia compared to Nylea's Presence
Asked by 9-lives 3 years ago
What is the difference between Nylea's Presence and Urban Utopia? Does the fact that it makes the card all basic lands better than if the enchanted land simply said 'tap for any color'? Generally basic lands are less likely to be removed from the game, no?
Ninja'd. I did want to add that having basic land types can be both upside (if you have cards like Gaea's Might or Chained to the Rocks) or downside (if your opponent has cards like Boggart Arsonists or Boil).

To clarify one thing first: Nylea's Presence gives all basic land types but does not make the card a basic land. Similar to how Ketria Triome is an Forest Island Mountain, a land enchanted by Nylea's Presence will be a Forest Island Mountain Plains Swamp in addition to its other types.
To answer your main question: most of the time this won't matter, but if you have cards that care about having certain land types (such as Evasive Action or Corrupt, it will count for those. If neither player has cards that care about basic land types, though, Nylea's Presence and Urban Utopia will function almost identically.
