Orzhov Basilica

Description

Orzhov Basilica is a land card from the Magic: The Gathering Commander 2015 set, carrying the card number 298. Introduced in 2015 under the set code C15, this common card is designed for the Orzhov color identity, which combines white and black mana. The card has a mana value of 0 and functions as a basic resource generator for decks built around this dual-color combination. The gameplay mechanics of Orzhov Basilica offer strategic flexibility. When played, the land enters the battlefield tapped, meaning it cannot produce mana in the turn it is cast. However, its second ability allows a player to return a land they control to its owner's hand when it enters. This effect enables players to search their library for a different land or cycle out less useful resources. Once in play, tapping the card produces one white mana and one black mana, denoted as {W}{B}. This mana output is essential for casting spells that require both colors. The Orzhov Basilica card from the 2015 Commander 2015 set provides {W}{B} mana production. This common land card enters tapped and returns a land you control to its owner's hand when it enters the battlefield. The card was illustrated by John Avon, whose artwork is part of the visual history of the set. The card features the black and white color identity associated with the Orzhov guild in Magic: The Gathering.
