A whole board of colorfixing goodness, turned into nearly worthless Mountains for the low low price of 2R! But how does it interact with weird lands, like <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Dryad+Arbor&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Dryad Arbor<\/a>, the Forest whose bark IS its bite?<\/p>\n<p>Well, to find out, we look at the layers! Blood Moon does its work in Layer 4, where it sets the subtype of &#8220;Mountain&#8221; to the exclusion of all others. That has some built-in rules baggage, though; setting something to a specific Basic Land subtype (like &#8220;mountain&#8221;) without specifying &#8216;in addition to&#8217; means that it blanks out every ability on the card and replaces it with &#8220;T: Add R to your mana pool&#8221;. The card can still gain other abilities in layer 6 (for example, if the Dryad Arbor gained abilities from an Equipment or Enchantment or somesuch, those would stay, because they&#8217;re added in layer 6, but the ability to tap for G is removed in Layer 4 by having it set to Mountain). It&#8217;ll still be a Creature, but instead of Land Creature &#8211; Forest Dryad, it&#8217;s a Land Creature &#8211; MOUNTAIN Dryad, and the only &#8216;native&#8217; ability it will have is tapping for Red mana.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Modern Madness continues, if you hadn&#8217;t caught onto this week&#8217;s theme.
