Temple of Malady

Description

Temple of Malady is a land card identified by card number 253 in the Core Set 2021 expansion of Magic: The Gathering. Released in 2020 under the set code M21, this rare card features artwork by Titus Lunter. The card has a mana value of 0 and a color identity of black and green ({B, G}). In gameplay, Temple of Malady enters the battlefield tapped. When it enters, you may scry 1, which lets you look at the top card of your library and put it on the bottom if you choose. Once in play, tapping the card allows you to add one black mana or one green mana to your mana pool. This functionality supports strategies that require both colors, making it a functional piece for decks building toward those specific mana requirements. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often track cards by set, rarity, and number. The Core Set 2021 checklist includes this card as a rare land, distinct from common or uncommon lands due to its specific mana output and entry effect. Understanding the card's mechanical role and its place in the M21 checklist helps collectors identify it accurately within their collections or when searching for specific variants of the Core Set 2021 release.
