Goblin Medic and Price of Progress

[peter]

Archived from groups: rec.games.trading-cards.magic.rules (More info?)

Two questions. First:
***
Goblin Medics {2R}
Creature -- Goblin 1/1
Urza's Legacy Common
- Whenever Goblin Medics becomes tapped, it deals 1 damage to target
creature or player.
***
I want to make sure I'm reading this correctly. I can't tap this any
time I want, correct? It only does the damage if it becomes tapped,
for example by attacking, getting regenerated or through the result of
someone else's spell or ability? Right?


***
Price of Progress {1R}
Instant
Exodus Uncommon
- Price of Progress deals 2 damage to each player for each nonbasic
land he or she controls.
***
Under which conditions would a player take 2 damage:
- Snow-Covered Swamp in play
- Volcanic Island in play
- Volcanic Island in play with a Blood Moon.
- Great Furnace in play with a Blood Moon.
- Treetop Village in play and animated with a Blood Moon

I think the Swamp is okay, but they take damage from the remaining
four.

By the way, just to be sure, what are the types of the following lands
with a Blood Moon in play:
- Snow-Covered Swamp: Basic Land - Mountain (and it's still
Snow-Covered)
- Volcanic Island: Land - Mountain
- Great Furnace: Artifact Land - Mountain
- animated Treetop Village: Land Creature - Mountain

Is this right?
Peter

***
Blood Moon {2R}
Enchantment
The Dark Rare
- Nonbasic lands are Mountains.
***
Volcanic Island
Land -- Island Mountain
A/B/U Rare
***
Great Furnace
Artifact Land
Mirrodin Common
- (Great Furnace isn't a spell.)
- {T}: Add {R} to your mana pool.
***
Treetop Village
Land
Urza's Legacy Uncommon
- Treetop Village comes into play tapped.
- {T}: Add {G} to your mana pool.
- {1}{G}: Treetop Village becomes a 3/3 green creature with trample
until end of turn. It's still a land.

Correct. It's not an activated ability, it just does something when it
gets tapped.

That would work of course.

> getting regenerated

Assuming you mean "having a regeneration shield active and it would be
destroyed" and not "playing a regeneration ability", yes.

> or through the result of someone else's spell or ability?

Well, anyone's spell or ability, as long as it taps it.

That is correct.

Yes, those are all correct. Blood Moon doesn't change Basic-ness (and
I don't think anything else does either).

Except for the Snow-Covered Swamp. Blood Moon would have absolutely no
effect on it.

Uh, right. I guess I was answering a little too quickly there.
