What do you do if Gonti, Lord of Luxury draws 4 lands?
Asked by vic 8 years ago
I looked up the gatherer ruling and found this:
"An effect that instructs you to cast a card doesn't allow you to play lands."
So I know I can't play a land, but I wonder if I can even exile one in the first place. Do I just take a land and leave it facedown the whole time? I suppose that's what I do, and try to bluff my opponent into thinking it's something great. I just wanted to check.

It's permanently exiled face down. The ability instructs you to exile a card face down, it doesn't say to exile a non-land card face down. This is also mandatory, so you must choose one of the 4 land cards. As you said, you cannot cast the land card so it just stays in exile.
