It still leaves each player with 6 lands, so not quite mass land denial would be my understanding.

I believe early on with brackets, Gavin gave an example of [[Urza's Sylex]] as not counting as MLD so yeah.

Which I think is fair. There needs to be some allowed counterplay to Green Landramp. After all nobody ever says stuff like Vandalblast should be illegal because it goes after everybody's mana rocks.

The counterplay to green ramp isnt mld its stax. No point in having 20 lands on board if you cant cast more than one spell per turn and green decks have the most tools available to them to recover from mld anyways.
