Windmill Farm 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
When you planeswalk here and at the beginning of your upkeep, create a Tulip Petal artifact token that has ", Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color." Chaos: Spin this plane until the arrow lands on a permanent. If the plane rotated at least 360 degrees during the spin, create a token that's a copy of that permanent.
Complete guide
Windmill Farm takes your Planar Chase games to the scenic vistas of Amsterdam, offering a steady flow of resources through its unique Tulip Petals. This plane rewards players for staying put, but its chaotic ability introduces a physical spin-to-win mechanic that can duplicate any permanent on the battlefield. Whether you are seeking mana ramp or a flashy copy of a powerful artifact, this plane offers a whirlwind of possibilities.
Cultivating Tulip Petals
Windmill Farm features a triggered ability that occurs both when you first planeswalk to it and at the start of your upkeep. This ability creates a Tulip Petal artifact token. These tokens function similarly to Lotus Petals, allowing you to tap and sacrifice them to add one mana of any color to your mana pool. This provides consistent mana fixing and acceleration for as long as you remain on this plane.
The Chaos Spin Mechanics
When you roll the Chaos symbol on the planar die, you must physically spin the Windmill Farm card. The card features an arrow that will point toward a permanent on the battlefield once it stops rotating. If the spin is vigorous enough to complete at least one full 360-degree rotation, you create a token that is a copy of whatever permanent the arrow is pointing at. If the spin is less than a full rotation, the arrow still designates a permanent, but you do not receive a copy.
Physicality and Fairness
Because this card requires a physical spin, players should ensure the plane is placed on a flat, smooth surface to allow for proper rotation. If the arrow lands exactly between two permanents, or if there is any ambiguity, the active player typically determines the result or a re-spin may be agreed upon by the group. Remember that 'any permanent' includes lands, enchantments, and even your opponents' powerful creatures.
Interaction examples
Sol RingIf you planeswalk to Windmill Farm, you immediately create a Tulip Petal. On your next upkeep, you create a second one. If you roll Chaos and spin the plane 360 degrees, landing the arrow on your Sol Ring, you create a second Sol Ring token. Between the two Sol Rings and your sacrificed Tulip Petals, you can generate a massive amount of mana in a single turn.
Command TowerIn a Commander game, if your arrow lands on a Command Tower after a full 360-degree spin, you create a token copy of that land. Since the token is a copy of Command Tower, it will also have the ability to tap for any color in your commander's color identity. Combined with the any-color mana from your Tulip Petals, Windmill Farm ensures you will rarely struggle with mana requirements.
