This is sort of a follow-up to Changes in CR 614.12 – I'm sorry, but I'm still unsure about the new rule.

Can we generally say that with Blood Moon or Blood Sun on the battlefield all lands with “(This card) enters the battlefield tapped” will enter the battlefield untapped (unless some other effect affects it)?

Is it also true that other replacement effects (on the land card itself) that would affect the land on entering the battlefield do not apply? Example: I don't have to sacrifice anything as Scorched Ruins (note the Oracle text) enters the battlefield. (So Blood Sun and Scorched Ruins would go very well together.)

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards,

Mario Hassler

Yes, and yes.

When looking at how replacement effects interact with ability-loss effects like Blood Sun (and type-changing effects that cause ability-loss as a side effect, like Blood Moon), the general interaction is as follows: if the land will not have one of the abilities printed on it once it's on the battlefield, that ability does not apply as that land is entering the battlefield. Lands that say they enter the battlefield with counters (like Gemstone Mine) will not have counters. Lands that say they enter the battlefield tapped or that enter tapped unless some condition is met (like Coastal Tower, Razorverge Thicket, or Watery Grave) will enter untapped by default.
