Can Magical Hack/Mind Bend improve a dual land?

Asked by mossflower 14 years ago

In my You are a PLAINSwalker! deck, I use Magical Hack and Mind Bend to change my plainswalkers into mountain/swamp/forest/islandwalkers. To fix my 4-color deck, can I use Magical Hack or Mind Bend to change a dual land like Savannah to a plains and a mountain, making it tap for red instead of green?

You can't change text on a dual land like Savannah because it doesn't have text. It's just a Forest Plains that taps for green or white mana. If you check the Oracle wording, you'll see that it has no text.

To further elaborate on nam : Before the errata, it would have still tapped for U/G, but would have read "Savannah counts as both a whatever and a Forest", etc. Changing what the card text says wouldn't change what the "tap : do this" did.

Remember, the "text" has to be in the actual text box.
