What happens if you play a card like Golgari Rot Farm while you have no mana in play?
Asked by FYREKNIGHT 9 years ago
I am playing a Golgari deck and am wondering if this card can actually cause mana ramp.

A few things, please link all cards in your question (Golgari Rot Farm). Lands are not the same thing as mana.
Golgari Rot Farm and the other Ravnica bounces say "When (CARD) enters the battlefield return a land you control to its owner's hand". This is a triggered ability that triggers when it enters the battlefield. You would play the land, the ability would trigger and go on the stack, when it resolves you would return a land you control to its owner's hand. The ability does not say "another" and the only land you control at this time would be the Golgari Rot Farm so you would return it to your hand.

Link your cards in your question with double square brackets
Golgari Rot Farm
I'm assuming you mean if you have no lands and you play one of the bounce lands like that. The bounce lands have a triggered ability that triggers when they enter the battlefield. If it's the only land you have out when the ability resolves, you'll have to return it to your hand since you have to choose targets for the ability.
