Slow lands is a term that refers to a cycle of uncommon lands that can be tapped for {C} or one mana of two allied colors; if tapped for colored mana, they do not untap during their controller's next untap step. The drawback is massive, slow lands are different from taplands which come into play tapped but function normally otherwise. The slow lands were first introduced in Tempest and later returned as functional reprints in Champions of Kamigawa.

  • Depletion duals: Ice Age used depletion counters to prevent them from untapping, making them essentially slowlands as well, but with the potential to influence the drawback by adding or removing counters.
