This card is particularly effective in a mono-red deck that aims to disrupt opponents relying on nonbasic lands for their mana base, such as Tron or control decks. While Magus of the Moon can be a powerful tool in certain matchups, it can be situational and vulnerable to removal. Blood Moon, a similar enchantment that has a broader impact, is often considered a better option in many cases due to its harder-to-remove nature and wider application. Ultimately, the decision to include Magus of the Moon in a deck depends on the specific metagame and strategy of the player.

Rules
03/19/21
If a nonbasic land has an ability that triggers “when” it enters the battlefield, it will lose that ability before it can trigger.
03/19/21
If Magus of the Moon loses its abilities, it continues to turn nonbasic lands into Mountains. This is because effects that change subtypes are applied before considering effects that remove abilities, regardless of the order in which those effects started.
03/19/21
Nonbasic lands lose any other land types and abilities they had. They gain the land type Mountain and gain the ability “: Add .”
03/16/18
This effect doesn’t affect names or supertypes. It won’t turn any land into a basic land or remove the legendary supertype from a legendary land, and the lands won’t be named “Mountain.”
09/29/17
If a nonbasic land has an ability that causes it to enter the battlefield tapped, it will lose that ability before it applies. The same is also true of any other abilities that modify how a land enters the battlefield or apply “as” a land enters the battlefield, such as the first ability of Cavern of Souls. This is a change from previous rulings.
