Dryad Arbor is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
(This land isn't a spell, it's affected by summoning sickness, and it has ": Add
.")
How it works : Dryad Arbor
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Due to its color indicator (appearing to the left of its type line), Dryad Arbor is green. Color indicators apply in all zones, not just the battlefield.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If Dryad Arbor is changed into another basic land type, it continues to be a green Dryad creature.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If a Dryad Arbor gains flash, or you have the ability to play Dryad Arbor as though it had flash (due to Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir or Scout's Warning, for example), you can ignore the normal timing rules for when during your turn you can play a land, but not any other restrictions. You can't play Dryad Arbor during another player's turn, and you can't play Dryad Arbor if you don't have any land plays remaining.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
Forest is a land type and Dryad is a creature type.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
Dryad Arbor is played as a land. It doesn't use the stack, it's not a spell, it can't be responded to, it has no mana cost, and it counts as your land play for the turn.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #6· Wizards of the Coast
Although originally printed with a characteristic-defining ability that defined its color, this card now has a color indicator. This color indicator can't be affected by text-changing effects (such as the one created by Crystal Spray), although color-changing effects can still overwrite it.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #7· Wizards of the Coast
If Dryad Arbor is changed into another basic land type (such as by Sea's Claim), it continues to be a creature and a Dryad.
No other card is named in this ruling.
