About Drag Down

Drag Down, Instant, designed by Trevor Claxton first released in Feb, 2009 in the set Conflux and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.01.

Drag Down would fit well in a multicolor deck that utilizes a variety of basic land types, such as a five-color deck, where the Domain ability can maximize its effectiveness by potentially giving a target creature a significant -5/-5 reduction. This card could be particularly useful in a control or midrange strategy that aims to manage the board state by removing threats. However, there are arguably better options for creature removal, such as Fatal Push or Go for the Throat, which offer more consistent and efficient removal without relying on land types. While Drag Down can be effective in the right deck, it might not see widespread play compared to these more reliable 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.
