Changes: Fetch land

Revision as of 12:02, 10 October 2021

Fetch lands are lands that can be sacrificed to search their controller's library for a land of a specific basic land type.^[1]^[2] Aside from allowing multicoloured decks to selectively play a desired land type, fetch lands also remove a land from the library, reducing the likelihood of drawing a land instead of a more useful card later in the game, when mana is no longer an issue.

Mirage fetch lands

Fetch lands were introduced as a cycle from Mirage. Each of these original lands entered the battlefield tapped and can be sacrificed to search for a land card with at least one of two basic land types of an allied color pair.

Onslaught fetch lands

They allow their controller to sacrifice them and pay one life to search their library for a land card with at least one of two basic land types of an allied color pair. These five lands were reprinted in Khans of Tarkir, and those printings also appear in Fate Reforged booster packs.

They allow their controller to sacrifice them and pay one life to search their library for a land card with at least one of two basic land types of an enemy color pair.
