Land Tax

Enchantment, W (1)

At the beginning of your upkeep, if an opponent controls more lands than you, you may search your library for up to three basic land cards, reveal them, and put them into your hand. If you do, shuffle your library.

• 10/15/2006: You can fetch any of the Snow-Covered lands, since they all also have the supertype Basic.
• 10/1/2009: This ability has an "intervening 'if' clause." That means (1) the ability won't trigger at all unless any one of your opponents controls more lands than you, and (2) the ability will do nothing if you control at least as many lands as each of your opponents by the time it resolves.
• 10/1/2009: You shuffle your library if you search, even if you don't put any basic land cards into your hand.
