Domain

For the theme deck see: Domain (deck)

Domain is a term that refers to cards that rely on the number of different basic land types (one to five) a player controls. Domain cards were introduced in Invasion. In Conflux, Domain became an ability word.

In the Invasion block, there are a total of 28 Domain cards: 14 from Invasion, 10 from Planeshift, and 4 from Apocalypse. 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.

Coalition Victory from Invasion is an alternate win condition domain sorcery.

Cards marked with an asterisk have been issued errata to have Domain as an ability word.
