Tromp the Domains

Sorcery, 5G (6)

Domain - Until end of turn, creatures you control gain trample and get +1/+1 for each basic land type among lands you control.

Ground into the footprints of the ravaging herd were clumps of salt from Benalia, moss from Llanowar, dust from Hurloon, and ash from as far as Urborg.

• 9/25/2006: The creatures get trample once; they don't get trample for each basic land type.
• 9/25/2006: The effect counts basic land *types*, not the number of basic lands. Therefore the maximum bonus is +5/+5.
• 9/25/2006: The affected creatures and the power/toughness bonus are fixed when Tromp the Domains resolves.
• 2/1/2009: To determine the number of basic land types among lands you control, look at the lands you have on the battlefield and ask yourself whether the subtypes Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest appear within that group. The number of times you say yes (topping out at five) tells you how powerful your domain abilities will be.
• 2/1/2009: How many lands you control of a particular basic land type is irrelevant to a domain ability, as long as that number is greater than zero. As far as domain is concerned, ten Forests is the same as one Forest.
• 2/1/2009: A number of nonbasic lands have basic land types. Domain abilities don't count the number of lands you control -- they count the number of basic land types among lands you control, even if that means checking the same land twice. For example, if you control a Tundra, an Overgrown Tomb, and a Madblind Mountain, you'll have a Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest among the lands you control. Your domain abilities will be maxed out.
