Leylines, sometimes called mana lines, are ancient mana paths that flow and crisscross each other across a given landscape. All planes have a network of leylines.
Mechanic
All leylines are enchantments. All leylines other than the first (Ley Line) allow you to begin the game with them on the battlefield if it is in your opening hand, since leylines are found rather than cast.[1][2]
There have been three cycles of Leylines with the "opening hand" clause, all with a 2MM cost. They were printed in Guildpact, Magic 2011 and Core Set 2020. However, due to their utility as sideboard cards, three have been reprinted, one twice, resulting in a total of 11 instead of 15.
Leyline of the Guildpact is the first multicolored leyline.
Story examples
- Nissa Revane is especially adept in manipulating leylines.
- On Ravnica the leylines formed the Implicit Maze.[3]
- On Amonkhet, the leylines coalesced into the gods.[4]
- On Zendikar the leylines connected the hedrons.[5]
- A focal point of the leylines could be found in the Singing City.[6]
- Eldrazi are known to follow leylines.[7]
- On Innistrad Nahiri created cryptoliths to bend the leylines to her will, and to summon Emrakul.[7]
