keyword:"Landhome"

Landhome is an obsolete generic keyword ability used in conjunction with a quality such as land type. It captures the flavor of things that require a certain environment.[1][2] The mechanic is still used occasionally, but it is now written out in the card text.

Description

Landhome was originally a group of abilities (islandhome, mountainhome, and so on) that prevent the creature with the ability from being declared an attacker if the defending player controlled no lands of the appropriate type. Additionally, creatures with landhome are sacrificed if their controller doesn't control any lands of the appropriate type.

It is now printed as two abilities:

  1. "<This creature> can't attack unless defending player controls a <land type>."
  2. "When you control no <land type>, sacrifice <this creature>."

Like Haste and Vigilance, Landhome was not originally keyworded, but unlike those abilities, it lost its keyword after WotC decided it was 'uninteresting,' and appeared on too few cards.[3] Although only Islandhome was ever printed on a card (and on only five cards at that), other cards have abilities that are functionally identical.

Rules

From the glossary of the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)

Islandhome (Obsolete)
An obsolete keyword ability that meant “This creature can’t attack unless defending player controls an Island” and “When you control no Islands, sacrifice this creature.” Cards printed with this ability have been given errata in the Oracle card reference.

Examples

Using current oracle text.

Example

Gorilla Pack {2}{G}
Creature — Ape
3/3
Gorilla Pack can't attack unless defending player controls a Forest.
When you control no Forests, sacrifice Gorilla Pack.
