Picked for what they do in Hugs's deck. When two cards do the same job, the one with the lower comes first. All of them fit Hugs's color identity.Mana ValueThe total amount of mana a card costs, all added up. A card costing two generic and one green has a mana value of three.

The effect of Hugs's last ability that allows you to play an additional land is cumulative with similar effects. For example, if you control Hugs as well as Exploration (an enchantment with "You may play an additional land on each of your turns."), you'll be able to play three lands during each of your turns.

You may play the exiled cards even if Hugs is no longer on the battlefield or under your control.

You pay all costs and follow all timing rules for cards played this way. For example, if one of the exiled cards is a land card, you may play it only during your main phase while the stack is empty.
Color identityEvery color of mana symbol on a card, in its cost and in its rules text. Your commander's color identity sets the limit for your whole deck: every other card has to fit inside it. A deck led by a green and white commander cannot play a card with any blue in its color identity.Open the full glossaryRGPlayers write colors as letters: R for red, G for green.LandfallLandfall decks reward you each time a land enters the battlefield for you, then find ways to play extra lands. You can normally play only one land a turn, so cards that let you play more, or pull lands out of your deck, make everything happen more often.Open the Landfall pageExtra Land DropLets you put down more than one land in a turn. The normal limit is exactly one, so this both accelerates your mana and switches on everything that triggers when a land enters play.
