Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth makes all lands Swamps; Kormus Bell turns all Swamps into 1/1 creatures. Once lands are creatures, Drana and Linvala's static ability extends to them, meaning opponents cannot tap a Forest for green, activate a fetch, or use any creature ability for the rest of the game.

Recipe

How it works

Prerequisites

—

Steps

Urborg and Kormus Bell cause all lands to be 1/1 creatures that are also Swamps in addition to their other types.
Because Drana and Linvala prevents your opponents from activating abilities of creatures they control, your opponents cannot activate abilities of lands or creatures they control.

Result

Opponents can't activate abilities of lands or creatures they control; Lock; Mass Land Denial

Variations

Cheaper, tighter, alternate lines

Linvala, Keeper of Silence is the trimmed version if Drana and Linvala isn't available as the commander — it covers creature abilities but leaves lands alone without Kormus Bell doing extra work. Yasharn, Implacable Earth covers a narrower slice; stick to the full three-piece lock if the goal is total denial rather than partial disruption.
