Description
The Path of Ancestry card, designated as number 661 in the Commander Masters set, was released in 2023 by Wizards of the Coast under the Magic: The Gathering brand. This common land card features artwork by Mark Poole and serves as a functional piece for players and collectors alike. Unlike traditional lands that produce a single mana type, this card offers flexibility by allowing you to add one mana of any color within your commander's color identity when tapped. Beyond its mana generation, the card includes a triggered ability that activates when that mana is spent to cast a creature spell sharing a creature type with your commander. This mechanic allows you to scry one, letting you look at the top card of your library and optionally place it on the bottom. This unique interaction makes the card a staple in decks that rely on specific creature types tied to the commander. Adding this functional artifact to your collection enhances your understanding of the set's design philosophy, which prioritizes impactful gameplay mechanics over traditional rarity constraints.
