({T}: Add {R} or {G}.) As this land enters, you may pay 2 life. If you don't, it enters tapped.
Predicted power
Standard 86 Eng.AUsr.

Like Steam Vents, it provides untapped typed two-color fixing at a modest life cost; it should be a four-of land-base staple for decks needing both colors.

Best home Red-green and multicolor decksBand stapleConfidence 86%

Could be wrong if Its score falls if red-green remains underrepresented and multicolor decks can meet their mana needs with stronger existing lands.

Pioneer 89 Eng.A+Usr.

It is the same premium shock-land fixing role as Steam Vents and Overgrown Tomb, supporting reliable early plays and fetchable red-green sources.

Best home Red-green midrange decksBand stapleConfidence 91%

Could be wrong if Adoption is color-pair dependent; a metagame with few competitive red-green shells would reduce its deck count.

Modern 86 Eng.AUsr.

Comparable to Sacred Foundry and Watery Grave, its basic land types and untapped option make it a standard efficient fetch target for decks needing red and green.

Best home Red-green fetchland mana basesBand stapleConfidence 89%

Could be wrong if It may be a one- or two-copy fetch target rather than a heavily played land if leading decks do not prioritize both colors.

Legacy 28 Eng.FUsr.

The two-life cost is a substantial drawback in Legacy, where mana bases demand exceptional efficiency; this offers only routine color fixing and no utility.

Band speculativeConfidence 82%

Could be wrong if A competitive red-green shell with unusual basic-land-type needs could make a small number of copies worthwhile.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 59 Eng.C+Usr.

A fetchable dual that can enter untapped is a strong singleton for decks containing red and green, though plentiful fixing alternatives cap its reach.

Best home Gruul and multicolor decksBand role-playerConfidence 84%

Could be wrong if Optimized lists may favor painless lands or faster mana sources, especially where the basic land types are not valuable.

Limited 52 Eng.CUsr.

It is a free upgrade over a basic in red-green decks and useful fixing for splashes, but it provides no spell effect and is poor as an early commitment.

Best home Red-green decksBand playableConfidence 39%

Could be wrong if Unknown fixing, archetypes, and format speed could make color consistency either much more or much less valuable than expected.

Untapped red-green fixing

“A premium red-green shock land: a staple mana-base piece where both colors are wanted, but nearly irrelevant in Legacy.”

AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
