Rationale

Princess Yue is a 3cmc 3/2 that scries 2 on tap, and when she dies as a creature she returns as a legendary land (Moon) that taps for {C}. This gives resilience against creature removal and provides a colorless mana source, making her a solid value piece in legendary-matters and lands-matter shells. The transformation is a fun synergy but the colorless mana and tapped entry reduce her land-side impact.

Learnings (3)

  • When Princess Yue dies as a creature, she returns as a legendary land named Moon — she is still subject to the legendary rule, so a second copy in play would force you to sacrifice one (including the land version).

  • Her land form only taps for {C} (colorless), not {U}, so she provides no blue mana fixing despite being a blue card — plan accordingly in mana bases.

    tagging · claude-sonnet-4-6

  • The triggered return condition specifies 'if she was a nonland creature,' meaning if she somehow became a land before dying (e.g. via Imprisoned in the Moon on her creature side), the trigger would not return her.
