Dryad Arbor

Land Creature - Forest Dryad 1/1

(Dryad Arbor isn't a spell, it's affected by summoning sickness, and it has "{T}: Add {G} to your mana pool.")

"Touch no tree, break no branch, and speak only the question you wish answered."
—Von Yomm, elder druid, to her initiates

Illus. Eric Fortune

Gatherer Card Rulings?, Legality?

• 5/1/2007: Forest is a land type. Dryad is a creature type.
• 5/1/2007: Dryad Arbor is played as a land. It doesn't use the stack, it's not a spell, it can't be responded to, it has no mana cost, and it counts as your land play for the turn.
• 5/1/2007: If a Dryad Arbor gains flash, or you have the ability to play Dryad Arbor as though it had flash (due to Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir or Scout's Warning, for example), you can ignore the normal timing rules for playing a land, but not any other restrictions. You can't play Dryad Arbor during another player's turn, and you can't play Dryad Arbor if it's your turn and you've already played a land.
• 9/22/2011: If Dryad Arbor is changed into another basic land type (such as by Sea’s Claim), it continues to be a creature and a Dryad.
