About Planar Despair

Planar Despair, Sorcery, designed by Mike Sass first released in Jun, 2001 in the set Apocalypse. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 2.27.

A deck that focuses on controlling the board with land types diversity, such as a five-color deck or a deck with a variety of basic land types, would benefit from using Planar Despair. However, for more efficient board control, cards like Damnation or Toxic Deluge might be better options due to their broader impact and lower mana cost. Planar Despair could see play in specific land-focused strategies or as a budget alternative, but in most cases, more versatile options would likely be preferred.

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.
