Groundswell Rulings
- Nov 8, 2024 Having more than one land enter the battlefield under your control this turn provides no additional benefit.
- Nov 8, 2024 Once the spell resolves, having a land enter under your control provides no further benefit.
- Nov 8, 2024 The effect of this spell's landfall ability replaces its normal effect. If you had a land enter under your control this turn, only the landfall-based effect happens.
- Nov 8, 2024 The landfall ability checks for an action that has happened in the past. It doesn't matter if a land that entered the battlefield under your control previously in the turn is still on the battlefield, is still under your control, or is still a land.
- Nov 8, 2024 Whether you had a land enter the battlefield under your control this turn is checked as this spell resolves, not as you cast it.
