Nonbasic land
Nonbasic lands are lands that do not have the basic supertype.
As per Magic rules, only 4 of each nonbasic land can be in a deck at any one time. Basic lands do not have this restriction.[1] Nonbasic lands often depict notable locations from the relevant set's style guide. [2]
Note that a nonbasic land may have a basic land type (Plains, Island, etc).
