Domain is a term that refers to cards that rely on and count the number of different basic land types (one to five) a player controls. Domain was concepted by Barry Reich for a never-released set called Spectral Chaos.[1] Domain cards were finally introduced in Invasion. In Conflux, Domain became an ability word.
In the Invasion block, there are a total of 20 Domain cards: 11 from Invasion, 7 from Planeshift, and 2 from Apocalypse. In addition, Conflux contains a total of 10 Domain cards. As a throwback to the past, there is 1 card with Domain in Time Spiral.
Domain cards encourage you to play five-color decks containing at least one of each basic land type. The Sunburst keyword from Fifth Dawn, which likewise encourages five-color deck building, can be seen as a latter-day cousin to the Domain mechanic.
All Invasion block Domain cards have been issued errata to have Domain as an ability word.
Pre-ability word example
