About Stratadon

Stratadon, Artifact creature — beast, designed by Brian Snõddy first released in Feb, 2001 in the set Planeshift and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 56.06.

A deck that focuses on a diverse range of basic land types, such as a five-color deck, would benefit most from using Stratadon due to its cost reduction ability based on the number of basic land types among lands you control. However, in competitive Magic: the Gathering play, there are likely better options available that offer more immediate impact or versatility for a 10-cost slot, such as powerful finishers or game-changing spells. Stratadon may struggle to see play in highly optimized decks, but could find a home in more casual or thematic decks that enjoy the challenge of maximizing land types for cost reduction.

Rules

03/19/21

Domain abilities count the number of basic land types among lands you control, not how many lands you control or how many of any type.

02/01/09

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.

02/01/09

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.
