What Land Tax Does
Land Tax checks at the beginning of your upkeep whether an opponent controls more lands than you. If they do, you may search your library for up to three basic lands, reveal them, put them into your hand, then shuffle.
Land Tax does not put lands directly onto the battlefield, so it is not ramp in the cleanest sense. Instead, it keeps your hand stocked with basic lands, helps you hit land drops, and gives white decks a reliable stream of resources when opponents pull ahead on land count. Very polite of them, really.
Best Uses for Land Tax MTG Proxy
- White Commander decks: Land Tax helps keep land drops consistent in a color that often appreciates extra resource smoothing.
- Control decks: Slower decks can use Land Tax to keep their hand full while developing carefully.
- Card-selection engines: Land Tax pairs well with effects that turn extra lands in hand into better cards.
Recommended Interactions
Land Tax works well with cards that use extra lands in hand, care about discard, or let you turn unwanted cards into fresh draws. It is worth testing if your deck runs enough basic lands for the trigger to matter.
- Scroll Rack: Turns the basic lands Land Tax finds into new cards from the top of your library.
- Mox Diamond: Uses extra lands in hand as a resource for fast mana in casual environments where the card is allowed.
- Solitary Confinement: Extra cards from Land Tax can help pay the discard cost for maintaining protection.
Strengths and Considerations
The main strength of Land Tax is consistency. For one white mana, it can repeatedly fill your hand with basic lands and help prevent mana problems over a longer game.
The main consideration is that Land Tax depends on an opponent having more lands and on your deck having enough basics to find. Testing Land Tax MTG proxy can help you decide whether it belongs in your Commander deck, cube, or casual white control shell.
