I know the question is really basic but I just started magic yesterday and I have this land card that I don't understand
On Wind-Scarred Crag, it's written that when the card is untapped I need to add a mana fire or light, from where should I add it ? from a land already in my hand?
Thank you
What it means is that, when you tap Wind-Scarred Crag, you get one red or white mana (your choice). So it behaves like either a Mountain or a Plains[1], depending on what you need, but with the penalty that you can't use it immediately (because it comes into play tapped). You do not need to play any additional card, you just get the mana.
[1] Although any card that specifically references Mountain or Plains will not affect this card, because it isn't actually either of them.
You are confusing Lands (cards that can often be tapped to produce mana) and mana (an intangible resource that's used to power many spells and abilities).
A Mountain has the following rule-granted ability:
{T}: Add {R}.
As such, a Mountain is a Land that produces Red mana when tapped.
{T}: Add {R} or {W}.
As such, a Wind-Scarred Crag is a Land that produces Red or White mana when tapped.
("Add" means "create". "{T}", "{R}" and "{W}" refer to the Tap, Red mana and White mana symbols respectively.)
