Stripland

Stripland is a slang term referring to any land card that can destroy another land. The earliest and most famous of the "striplands" is <c>Strip Mine</c> from Antiquities, from which the slang term comes.

All striplands can be tapped for mana (usually File:C.svg), or tapped and sacrificed to destroy another land. The exception to this pattern is <c>Dust Bowl</c>, where the cost of its land destruction ability allows the sacrifice of other lands instead, making it the only repeatable such effect.

Examples[edit]

Example

<c>Strip Mine</c>
Land
File:T.svg: Add File:C.svg.
File:T.svg, Sacrifice Strip Mine: Destroy target land.
