Exploding Borders {2}{R}{G}
Sorcery
Domain — Search your library for a basic land card, put that card onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle. Exploding Borders deals X damage to target player or planeswalker, where X is the number of basic land types among lands you control.
Reuniting a world is not a gentle process.

Notes and Rules Information for Exploding Borders:
- You do what the spell says in order, so you'll put a new basic land card onto the battlefield before you determine the value of X. (2009-02-01)
- Exploding Borders will still deal damage even if you don't put a land card onto the battlefield. (2009-02-01)
- Exploding Borders has only one target: the player. If that player becomes an illegal target by the time Exploding Borders would resolve, the entire spell doesn't resolve. You won't get to search for a basic land card. (2009-02-01)
- 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. (2021-06-18)
- The basic land types are Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest. Land types other than basic land types (such as Desert) don't contribute to domain abilities. (2021-06-18)
