There are even entire decks built around lands and Landfall abilities like the one on the recentlypreviewed GladioFinal Fantasycard.

I also just have a strong affinity for land cards themselves.

One tactic many card games take is to cut out lands and have you play normal cards as resources.

I’m not a big fan of this for several reasons.

However, I was pleasantly surprised by how unique and funSorcery: Contested Realmis.

And,a large part of the game’s appeal is how it handles lands.
