About Ordered Migration

Ordered Migration, Sorcery, designed by Heather Hudson first released in Oct, 2000 in the set Invasion. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 4.82.

A deck that benefits from Ordered Migration would be a multicolor control or midrange deck that aims to have a diverse range of basic land types in play. This card can provide a significant number of flying creature tokens, which can be useful for both offense and defense. However, there are potentially better cards for this purpose, such as Lingering Souls or Spectral Procession, which provide more immediate value. Whether Ordered Migration should see play would depend on the specific strategy and synergies of the deck, as well as the overall metagame.

Rules

03/19/21

Domain abilities count the number of basic land types among lands you control, not how many lands you control or how many of any type.

02/01/09

A number of nonbasic lands have basic land types. Domain abilities don’t count the number of lands you control — they count the number of basic land types among lands you control, even if that means checking the same land twice. For example, if you control a Tundra, an Overgrown Tomb, and a Madblind Mountain, you’ll have a Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest among the lands you control. Your domain abilities will be maxed out.

02/01/09

To determine the number of basic land types among lands you control, look at the lands you have on the battlefield and ask yourself whether the subtypes Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest appear within that group. The number of times you say yes (topping out at five) tells you how powerful your domain abilities will be.
