What happens with the Blue Plains card you draw from your opponent's hand when using Silo of Truth? Assuming you have four Cornfield Landscapes, and no Blue Plains fields... do you just say "aw shucks", and discard it to the owner's discard pile?
Silo of Truth: "Pay 2 Actions >>> Steal a random card from your opponent's hand and play it at no cost."
The question here is whether or not Landscape Type counts as a cost (a must spend), or is a requirement (a must have)!
A) If Landscape Type counts as a cost: You would play the card normally as if it were your own Cornfield Creature/Spell/Building without paying the action point(s), or discard costs that may be attached to it, while also ignoring any Landscape Type symbols associated with the card. Once it leaves play, it would be returned to the original owner's discard pile.
B) If Landscape Type is still considered a requirement: You hope that the Blue Plains Creature/Building/Spell you choose from your opponent is usable on your Cornfields! If it is not, then it automatically goes to the owner's discard pile.
This happened to me in a duel earlier, and we went with situation B, but I'm still not clear/convinced on this! What rulings have you used when playing Silo of Truth, something of your own creation, perhaps; maybe sending the Blue Plains card in question to your own discard pile? What do you think?
