How to Play Lands in Zendikar Limited
September 15, 2009 | Posted by Dee
Landfall is going to add some complexity in Limited, which I like. Normally, you just play all your lands save one or two automatically, since that is the best play. You might draw a card draw spell (you do have card draw in all your Limited decks, right?), and having your lands in play is going to be best. Now, you have to think about purposely missing even your fourth land drop. If you have a ton of Landfall, you can’t afford to waste land drops for nothing, as that is almost like missing out on a free spell. If Landfall is that good, you will definitely be playing more than 17 or even 18 lands in some decks, which sounds excellent to me. Lessening the chance of mana screw without getting flooded is always a good thing.
