Unbanned in Legacy. Have fun guys.

Also, why is this card called Land Tax if it doesn't punish the opponent for having lands? It's more like a Land Grant to the controller.

This is a great card. It's way more powerful than people realize. I serves so many purposes. It prevents mana problems. It makes land destruction decks almost useless. Also, it helps get the land out of the deck and leave more of the GOOD stuff in. This is truly a great card. 5/5

so its been a while since I read this card. It's always been in the back of my head as one of those really good really old cards that I will most likely never get my hands on. So I read it again today. Then I read it again to make sure that I hadn't misread it.

WHAT

why does something so powerful exist?

I'm very confused about akromar comment... 1 why is it important for you to play something first turn and why would it not be this? here is my reasoning you go second and 1st turn you play this this forces your opponent to either stop HIS tempo or he lets you thin your deck now depending on his deck I doubt he's going to have a deck of 1 drops so that he doesn't need that second land you're daring him to play. Also i don't see this card losing you tempo quite the opposite in fact unless you have some game winning first or second turn strategy... But anyway great card i don't see why it was uncommon in both legends and battle royale but hey it seems all the best cards aside from P9 are uncommon (force of will, AEther vial, Standstill) just to name a few.

@bijart_dauth, agreed. there's no way in hell that your opponent is going to stop dropping lands on their second turn just to prevent you from abusing land tax, unless their entire deck is nothing but mana-producing artifacts and creatures or 1-drops.

on a related note, i had a black/white deck that could basically run on 2-3 lands. 4 dark ritual, mana vault, sol ring, land tax, etc. no one i ever played against stopped dropping lands on their second turn. there are very few decks that can end a game with only 2 lands.

@Dreki: To say that this was uncommon in the Battle Royale boxed set is quit misleading as you got one in the Deluge deck every time you bought one.

In same sense Liliana Vess is not mythic rare in the Garruk vs. Liliana dueldecks as it is as rare as Drudge Skeletons, which is categorized as a common, in that package: there are one of both.

What the hell? The spell is almost always better than the creature.
