About Exotic Disease

Exotic Disease, Sorcery, designed by Kev Walker first released in May, 2020 in the set Planeshift. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 21.77.

This card, Exotic Disease, would benefit a deck that focuses on controlling and maximizing the number of basic land types among lands you control, such as a five-color deck with a diverse land base. While it can provide a significant life swing in your favor, there are more efficient and powerful cards available for similar effects, such as Exsanguinate or Debt to the Deathless, which can have a greater impact on the game. Overall, Exotic Disease may not see much play in competitive settings due to its high mana cost and the availability of stronger alternatives.

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.
