UPDATED MARCH/2022

Lands is a control deck present in the Legacy format. It receives its name for the abundancy of lands compared to most decks.

Overview

Lands is known for being one of the strongest strategies in the Legacy format.

The deck is strong against most opponents and its strategy makes it hard for opponents to deal with.

The strategy can win through a variety of ways:

Early Decklists

Sometimes it was called XX Lands, where XX was the number of lands in the deck.

The deck used Exploration and Manabond to put a large quantity of lands with various effects into play consistently and was able to reuse discarded or destroyed lands with Life from the Loam and Crucible of Worlds.

Intuition and Gamble, were tutors included in the deck. And the Graveyard-recursion mitigated the downside of those cards.
