UPDATED MARCH/2022

Overview

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

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.
