Urza lands and Quicksilver Fountain

Asked by PixelAlex 8 years ago

So if i use Quicksilver Fountain and put the flood counter on an urza land it generates blue mana right?
But does it still combo with the other lands? (i mean if i make a Urza's Tower an island does it still generate 3 mana when Urza's Mine and Urza's Power Plant are in play?)

It can only make and the Urzatron will be "off" if the flooded land is the only copy of that particular piece you control. Because Quicksilver Fountain doesn't say "in addition to its other types" that means the flooded land only has the Island subtype (the Urzatron synergy is based on subtypes, not names) and it loses any other abilities from its rules text.

No.

When a permanent gains a basic land type it "erases" not only all other types (including "Urza's", "Mine", "Tower" and "Power-plant" so these lands can't find each other anymore) but also all text on the card, replacing with the appropriate implicit basic land text (so the tron lands will not have the ability ": add to your mana pool. If you control etc. etc." but instead just ": add to your mana pool".

This is the entire idea behind how cards like Blood Moon work. If the card says "in addition to its other types", like Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, this doesn't happen and the previous text is maintained.

The cards Rhad quoted all add basic land types without overwriting existing land types. No card (that I know of) currently allows you to add the land type "Urza's" to anything.
