Battle — Siege // Creature — Elemental
Battle — Siege
(As a Siege enters, choose an opponent to protect it. You and others can attack it. When it's defeated, exile it, then cast it transformed.)
When this Siege enters, search your library for up to two basic land cards, put them onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle.
Creature — Elemental
Vigilance, haste
As long as this creature is on the battlefield, it's a land in addition to its other types.
{T}: Add one mana of any color.
This card uses a replacement effect ('as [it] enters' or 'enters with') to modify how the permanent enters. This is NOT a triggered ability — it can't be responded to, and effects like Panharmonicon or Torpor Orb don't affect it.
This card's ability triggers when it enters the battlefield, not when it's cast. Effects that double ETB triggers (like Panharmonicon) work here. Countering the spell prevents the creature from entering, so the ETB won't fire.
If this card's activated ability produces mana and doesn't target, it's a mana ability. Mana abilities resolve immediately without using the stack — opponents can't respond to them. However, abilities that target (even if they produce mana) aren't mana abilities.
