You want me to just take the island back to my hand, to fix the balance/hand problem?

Quick Question: Since dual lands are part basic, can I search for them with Land Tax? Spidey said no, but I've seen other people in these games do basic-restricted moves with them. I'm just a bit confused.
Wha? How are dual lands "part basic"? And what basic-restricted moves are you talking about?

The only thing I can think of is the Fetch lands which say "get an island or swamp", of which a dual land is both. But they don't say "get a basic land" (like Rampant Growth might say, for example. Or Krosan Tusker).

It's that Land tax says (Basic Land Card)...

Anyways, You discarded a mountain which you can get back (you sac'd the Island)...
 

Ransac

CPA Trash Man
That's what I meant (I swear! The drugs haven't kicked in yet, :rolleyes:).

Anyway, you want for me to take the MOUNTAIN back then?

yes... and, as I stated, my turn is untap, draw, go... presuming you didn't do anything to my eot capsize of the diamond...
 

Ransac

CPA Trash Man
Gotcha. My response would be to tap the diamond to activate scroll rack for my hand of 6. With the Mox back in my hand, I'll then have 7 cards.

EOT, I'll sac my forest and Tropical Island to make 4 1/1 goblin-soldier tokens.

Untap, Upkeep (Land Tax for Island, Plains, Mountain), Draw (Sylvan- put two drawn back). Discard Mountain for Mox Diamond. Sol Ring, Library of Alexandria, Activate Library, BOP, Attack with 4 1/1 tokens. Any responses? If not, done.

I've always loved Land Tax/Scroll Rack :D

Ooo yeah. This game just got fun. You got a beast and I got a card drawing beast. Let's see what I can pull out.

EOT, sacrifice Mountain pull out 2 more tokens and scroll rack for 6 (keeping 1 card in hand before swapping). Untap. Upkeep (Land Tax- Search for Mountain, Island, and Plains again; You get a 1/1 token for the Force), Draw (Sylvan library- put back 2 drawn), Tundra, Chrome Mox (removing Oath of Lieges), Animate Gruul War Plow. Attack with 5 1/1 tokens and the Plow. Blockers? Responses?

NOTE: I just noticed that I never added Scroll Rack to the text of what's in play. I went back to see if I did actually play it and I did. However, since I've stated using it every turn since I've had it, I doubt you've forgotten it.

EOT, cycle Decree of Justice for 4 1/1 soldier tokens.

Untap, Upkeep- Land Tax on stack, Scroll Rack for 6 (holding 1), Land Tax (Plains, Island, Mountain), Draw (Sylvan- put two back drawn), Taiga, Animate the Plow, attack with 7 1/1 tokens and the Plow. Response? Blockers?

Blocking...

I'll go ahead and block the Plow w/ the Force, and use the wall and two 1/1's to block 3 of your 1/1's. Taking 4?

I'm in Atlanta for three weeks and left my deck in Tennessee. That means I gotta start this game over....... when someone teaches me how to use Excel for this.
