Polluted Mire

Description

Polluted Mire, designated as card number 307 in the Commander 2014 set, is a basic-land-adjacent land card from the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Released in 2014, this entry in the Commander 2014 series is classified as a Common rarity and is illustrated by Stephen Daniele. The card belongs to the black color identity and has a mana value of 0, functioning as a Land type card within the game's mechanics. In gameplay, Polluted Mire enters the battlefield tapped, requiring a turn to produce mana unless it is played during a turn when the player has priority and no spells are being cast. Once active, players can tap the land to add one black mana ({B}) to their mana pool. This straightforward mana production makes it a reliable source of black resources for decks focused on that color. A distinctive feature of Polluted Mire is its Cycling {2} ability. This allows a player to discard the card from their hand for two mana to draw a replacement card. This mechanic provides flexibility, allowing players to convert the land into card advantage when it is not needed immediately or when they need to thin their deck. The card's design and rules text are consistent with the 2014 release standards. Its card number, 307, places it within the base checklist of the Commander 2014 expansion. Whether used in casual Commander games or other formats where the card is legal, Polluted Mire offers a simple yet effective tool for mana acceleration and card selection. Its inclusion in the 2014 Commander 2014 set highlights its role in the evolving landscape of the trading card game during that era.
