Exotic Orchard

Description

Released in 2016 as part of the Conspiracy: Take the Crown expansion, the Exotic Orchard foil card brings a distinct twist to land management in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Carrying the set code CN2 and numbered 219, this rare land card challenges players to adapt their mana base by looking beyond their own board. The card’s rules text instructs players to tap it to add one mana of any color that a land an opponent controls could produce, creating a dynamic interaction that rewards board awareness and strategic positioning. This mechanic integrates seamlessly into multiplayer formats, where the presence of diverse land types across the table can significantly impact resource generation. Art by Steven Belledin, the foil treatment of this card adds a layer of visual appeal that collectors appreciate alongside its gameplay utility. The flavor text, attributed to Pulan, a Bant orchardist, hints at the whimsical and unpredictable nature of the Conspiracy block, where lands were reimagined with sentient or altered characteristics. The Exotic Orchard exemplifies this theme, transforming a standard land role into a tool for engaging with opponents' strategies rather than just securing one's own resources. For Magic: The Gathering enthusiasts, acquiring this card contributes to a comprehensive collection of the Conspiracy series. Whether for completing a full set of CN2 cards or seeking out unique lands for casual or competitive decks, the Exotic Orchard foil stands out for its clever design and interactive rules. Its rarity as a foil print from this 2016 release makes it a notable item for traders and collectors alike.
