The scry lands are taplands introduced in the Theros block. 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] 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
