This card, Evasive Action, would benefit a deck that focuses on controlling the board and has a diverse range of basic land types. Decks that run multiple basic land types, such as five-color decks or decks with a heavy emphasis on land ramp, would find this card particularly useful. However, there are better options available such as Mana Leak or Counterspell, which offer more consistent and versatile counterspells. Evasive Action may not see play in competitive decks due to its reliance on land types and the availability of stronger counter options.

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.
