(This page has always been strangely bare of cast listing, overrelying on the use of link to other sections that do not always contain the desired information. This change aim at turning the page into a proper one stop page for anyone looking to know more about trilands. I'd like to suggest that the spreadsheet listing all the dual land types on the dualland page be extended to contain the trilands too. Thanks)

Revision as of 06:08, 28 January 2023

The scry lands are taplands introduced as two cycles in Theros block, also known as the Temples under the naming scheme. The five lands in Theros share their colors with the Gatecrash guilds, with the three remaining allied lands appearing in Born of the Gods and the two remaining enemy lands appearing in Journey into Nyx.[1][2] The enemy-colored lands were reprinted in Core Set 2020[3] and Core Set 2021.[4] The ally-colored lands were reprinted in Theros: Beyond Death.

Description

All scry lands let the player scry 1 when entering the battlefield.

Future Sight

A predecessor to the scry lands, New Benalia ({W}), was printed in Future Sight, as part of an uncommon cycle of utility taplands.

Dominaria

Later on, Zhalfirin Void was printed in Dominaria, and was the first scry land to enter untapped as it produced only colorless mana.

Dual-colored scry lands

These scry lands can produce one of two colors and are also called temples due to their naming pattern.[3]

Allied colored

Enemy colored

Alchemy

A digital design from Alchemy: Innistrad, Forsaken Crossroads, allows the player to Scry 1, but also allows them to replace it with being untapped if they were not the starting player. It allows a choice of any color of mana like Uncharted Haven.

Dominaria United

A common strictly better version of Zhalfirin Void (and incidentally Shimmering Grotto) was printed in Dominaria United under the name of Crystal Grotto.
