Asked by SwiftDeath 14 years ago

Yes. WoG destroys all creatures on the Battlefield at the same time, so if your lands are creatures, they die too.
Even though Liege says they are creatures for as long as Liege is on the Battlefield, everything dies because it all happens at the same time.
If you had some way to remove the Liege from the Battlefield on the stack, before WoG resolves, your lands turn back into lands, and are saved.

they sure do. Sorry bout the harsh justice you seem to have recieved. Anything that's a creature at the time WoG or day-of-judgement resolves gets destroyed. now, if you had Terra Eternal out, your tangle's homies would be sittin pretty.

When Liege of the Tangle says 'still lands' it means that they actually have 2 permanent types, along with a subtype. Anything that affects either lands or creatures will affect them, and if one or more of the lands entered play that turn they will have summoning sickness and cannot be tapped for mana (or for any other activated abilities with a tap cost they might have). So yes, Wrath of God kills your lands - that's why it might not be a good idea to make all of them creatures.

the main thing i was confused about was it says they are still lands, not, they are still lands in addition to their other types. in other words the statement is to vauge to prove one or the other.
if possible can anyone show me the official rule to solve this or tell me where to look for the official rule.

@Bayushi_Reaper: actually, Liege of the Tangle is worded so that the lands are still creatures if the card itself leaves the battlefield - the counters have to removed (AEther Snap , anyone?).

@user:crazykillsftw: well, the card says that they become creatures, so they're obviously creatures, and the "They're still lands" caveat is there because some cards actually change the permanent type and the relevant card doesn't maintain its original type. They're creatures in addition to their other types.

AEther Snap is sorcerry speed therefore to slow u would need a vamp hexmage and u would still only be able to save one land at a time. i like johnsene's terra eternal idea the best so far.

Yes, all your lands will be destroyed. What it means by "still lands" is that they can be used for manna as well as attack as a creature. The only way to keep any of them would be to some how take the counter off of the land, thus making it a regular land. Hope that helped.
