Opulent Palace

Description

The 2016 Magic: The Gathering Commander edition introduced Opulent Palace as card number 313, providing a specialized land source for decks built around the black, green, and blue (B/G/U) color identity. Created by artist Adam Paquette, this uncommon card serves as a functional land that enters the battlefield tapped, requiring careful planning during the early turns of a match. Its primary utility lies in its ability to produce one of three distinct mana types—black, green, or blue—when activated, making it a flexible component for commanders that rely on mixed color requirements. Collectors of the Commander series often seek out this card to complete their set collections or to utilize its specific mana production capabilities in casual play. The flavor text describes a lush expanse where the dense jungle surrenders to the spires of Qarsi Palace, adding narrative depth to the card's design within the game's lore. For investors and hobbyists in trading card games, the Commander sub-series holds significant historical value as a cornerstone format for the Magic franchise. The card's straightforward mechanics and unique color combination make it a staple for players exploring the three-color archetypes available in this preconstructed-style release.
