(If this in in the wrong spot, feel free to yell.)

I'm trying to get the syntax right on one of my keywords, but I'm stuck.
I want the keyword to output "untap a basic land you control" if the keyword value is one, or "untap N basic lands you control" if the keyword value is any other nonzero number.

In the Matches: field I've got Keyword <number>.
In the Reminder text: field I have: "Untap {english_number_a(param1)} {if (param1)=="a" then "basic land" else "basic lands"} you control."

I end up with "Untap a basic lands you control." What am I missing here?

	He will be laughing still, at the end.

I remember the way to do that being much different in the last version, nice and easy now.

	"When in doubt, do a common."
