Not all lands are basic lands. Some nonbasic lands tap for
multiple colors of mana, while others tap for colorless mana
(o1, 2

Every card that isnt a land can be cast as a spell. Some types of spells are put
onto the battlefield and become permanents. Other types of spells have their

Sorcery and instant spells represent powerful incantations that can have
a wide range of effects. After their effects happens, these spells are put
into your graveyard. You can cast a sorcery only during your main phase,
the same time you cast creatures and other permanent spells. You can
cast an instant during either players turn, at almost any time . . . even in
response to another spell!

You win the game by reducing your opponents life total to 0. The most common way
to do that is to attack your opponent with creatures during combat.

Responding and
the Stack
When you cast a spell, it doesnt resolve (have its effect)
right away. It has to wait on the stack. Each player,
including you, now gets a chance to cast an instant or
activate an ability in response. If a player does, that
instant or ability goes on the stack on top of what was
already waiting there. When all players decline to do
anything, the top spell or ability on the stack will resolve.
