Root Maze + Shock Lands

Asked by notorius-B.D.A.W.G 5 years ago

If a Root Maze is on the battlefield and I play a shock land (e.g. Breeding Pool ), can I pay 2 life and have it enter untapped? e.g. is it possible to order the effects it resolves Root Maze makes the land tapped, then the pay 2 life makes the land untapped?

I am thinking that regardless of paying life it will enter tapped because of Root Maze.

You are correct. Root Maze makes it so that lands enter tapped, regardless of if you meet some other condition that would make it come into play untapped.
