Rulings
- April 18, 2017 — Desert is a land subtype with no special meaning. It doesn't grant the land an intrinsic mana ability. Other cards may care about which lands are Deserts.
- July 14, 2017 — If Hostile Desert becomes a creature the same turn it enters the battlefield, you can't attack with it or tap it for mana.
