The battle lands are a cycle of allied color taplands introduced in Battle for Zendikar.[1][2]

Description

The battle lands are noteworthy for being one of few dual land cycles with basic land types, along with the original Alpha dual lands, the Amonkhet Dual-colored Cycling Lands, and the shock lands.

They enter the battlefield tapped, unless their controller controls at least two basic lands.
