Samite Pilgrim, Creature — human cleric, designed by D. J. Cleland-Hura first released in Feb, 2001 in the set Planeshift.
A deck that focuses on controlling the battlefield and protecting key creatures would benefit from including Samite Pilgrim. However, there are more efficient cards like Mother of Runes or Giver of Runes that provide similar protection abilities without the land type restriction, making them better choices in most cases. Samite Pilgrim could see play in a budget deck or a theme deck centered around land types, but in competitive play, other options would likely be more effective.

Domain abilities count the number of basic land types among lands you control, not how many lands you control or how many of any type.

A number of nonbasic lands have basic land types. Domain abilities don’t count the number of lands you control — they count the number of basic land types among lands you control, even if that means checking the same land twice. For example, if you control a Tundra, an Overgrown Tomb, and a Madblind Mountain, you’ll have a Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest among the lands you control. Your domain abilities will be maxed out.

To determine the number of basic land types among lands you control, look at the lands you have on the battlefield and ask yourself whether the subtypes Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest appear within that group. The number of times you say yes (topping out at five) tells you how powerful your domain abilities will be.
