Alpine Moon

EnchantmentRed mana

Land hate that does not destroy a land but disarms it. Where Wasteland or Ghost Quarter answers a problematic nonbasic by removing it, this answers a whole class of them by name: choose the card the deck is built around, and every copy your opponents control loses its land types and its abilities, retaining only a tap ability for one mana of any color. The naming is the design's whole argument. It is surgical against decks whose engine lives on a specific nonbasic (a combo land, a recursive utility land, anything that wants to be more than a mana source), and inert against everything else. The mana-any-color clause reveals this as hate rather than symmetry: it deliberately leaves the land producing mana, so it cannot accidentally strand an opponent on colors, while stripping the type line and abilities that made the card worth naming in the first place. And because it chooses a card name as it enters rather than pointing at a permanent already in play, it can be cast before the threat arrives, sitting on a single red mana and waiting for the named land to be drawn or fetched. The cost is its narrowness: point it at a deck that does not lean on one specific nonbasic and it does nothing at all. A scalpel built for one cut, and dead weight if you reach for it expecting a hammer.
