Wind-Scarred Crag

Description

Wind-Scarred Crag is a land card from the Magic: The Gathering Commander 2017 release, identified by card number 294 and set code C17. As a Common rarity card, it serves as a foundational piece for decks built around the red and white color identity. The artwork was created by Eytan Zana, whose design contributes to the visual identity of the Commander 2017 set. Gameplay-wise, Wind-Scarred Crag functions as a dual-land option for players seeking flexibility in their mana base. The card enters the battlefield tapped, which delays immediate mana availability for the turn it is played. However, this delay is offset by an additional benefit: when the land enters, the controller gains 1 life. This life gain mechanic can be strategically valuable in longer games or against aggressive strategies. Once on the battlefield, Wind-Scarred Crag can be tapped to add either one red mana or one white mana to your mana pool. This dual-color output makes it a versatile choice for commanders that utilize both red and white spells. The mana value of the card is 0, reflecting its status as a land that does not require mana to cast but instead produces it. The Wind-Scarred Crag card from the 2017 Commander 2017 set functions as a dual-color land that enters tapped and allows the player to add either red or white mana. The inclusion of Wind-Scarred Crag in Commander 2017 highlights the set's focus on providing reliable resources for multi-color decks. For those interested in the history of Magic: The Gathering, this card represents a standard design approach to dual-colored lands during that era, balancing immediate utility with a minor drawback.
