Title: Fetching Shock Lands
Post by: Nanocarter23 on January 13, 2014, 06:45:16 PM
If you used {Evolving Wilds} on a shock land would the shock land enter tapped or untapped if you paid the two life?

Evolving wilds only searches for basics, if o remember.

and if instead you used something like {crop rotation} and chose to bring in a shockland, it would still come in tapped unless you paid two life.

Are there any other green cards that allow you to search for a shock?

Just letting you know, those are about 50-60 $ depending on which one you get.

{farseek} is much cheaper. The only downside is you can't search for a forest. But you can still get shock lands with it so not much of a downside.

If i use farseek on a shock land how will it not enter the battlefield untapped if i pay two life?

{nature's lore} can grab forests and lets then come into play untapped

I've always wondered how {natures lure} and shock lands worked together.

 {Spoils of Victory}, {Sylvan Scrying}, {Skyshroud Claim}...just some of the cards that can search for shock lands

I STILL PREFER {evolving wilds} over {crop rotation}. Getting the right land in my tri colt deck is essential.
