Pathway land
Pathway lands are dual lands. They are modal double-faced cards which allow you to choose which of the two sides you want to play.[1][2]
History
Six Pathway lands were included in Zendikar Rising (three ally-colored and three enemy-colored cards) and not the usual cycle of five. The other four are flagged for Kaldheim.[3][4][5]
R&D decided that that these cards not having a basic land type (and not being a basic land) was enough to make them not “strictly better” than basic lands.[6]
