Sunken Hollow

Description

Sunken Hollow, card number 23 from the 2023 Explorer Anthology 3 set, is a foundational dual land in Magic: The Gathering. Designed by Adam Paquette, this card serves as a critical resource for decks requiring both Black and Blue mana. As a basic Island and Swamp combined, it offers flexibility in deck construction without sacrificing basic land identity. The card’s ability allows players to tap it to add either one Blue or one Black mana to their pool. However, there is a strategic trade-off: Sunken Hollow enters the battlefield tapped unless the player already controls two or more basic lands. This design encourages early-game land sequencing, rewarding players who have established a solid foundation by turn one. In the broader Magic: The Gathering ecosystem, dual lands are highly sought after for their utility and aesthetic appeal. Sunken Hollow’s dual nature makes it particularly valuable in formats that support both colors, such as Modern and Explorer. Its inclusion in the Explorer Anthology 3 set ensures that collectors can obtain this essential piece with confidence in its authenticity and print quality. Whether you are building a competitive deck or adding to your collection, this card represents a key component of the game’s strategic depth.
