Title: Daxos of meletis
Post by: Popper23345 on February 06, 2015, 03:32:32 PM
{Daxos of meletis}

If I get my opponent to exile a land card with Daxos, can I play it if I've already played a land that turn?

No. You don't cast lands.

To clarify - you never Cast lands, you only Play them with a special action.  Even if you hadn't played a land yet, you wouldn't be able to play an exiled one with Daxos, because he specifically says Cast.

305.1. A player who has priority may play a land card from his or her hand during a main phase of his or her turn when the stack is empty. Playing a land is a special action; it doesn't use the stack (see rule 115). Rather, the player simply puts the land onto the battlefield. Since the land doesn't go on the stack, it is never a spell, and players can't respond to it with instants or activated abilities.

Also, lands can be put instead of played
305.4. Effects may also allow players to "put" lands onto the battlefield. This isn't the same as "playing a land" and doesn't count as a land played during the current turn.

Sidenote, give Daxos double strike for dual triggers. You hit more good stuff that way.
