Canyon Slough

Description

Canyon Slough stands as a functional and thematic dual land within the Magic: The Gathering Fallout expansion released in 2024. As card number 489 in the set, this Rare land serves players by producing either black or red mana, making it a versatile foundation for decks requiring multiple colors. The card’s design reflects the post-apocalyptic aesthetic of the Fallout universe, bringing a unique narrative weight to the tabletop experience. Mechanically, Canyon Slough enters the battlefield tapped, requiring strategic timing during the early game. However, its Cycling cost of two mana offers a flexible alternative, allowing players to discard the land to draw a new card when better options are needed. This dual functionality balances the inherent drawback of entering tapped, providing depth to gameplay decisions. Collectors often seek this card to complete their Fallout set runs or to utilize its specific mana production in constructed formats. The inclusion of flavor text by Joshua Graham further cements its connection to the broader Fallout lore, appealing to fans of both the trading card game and the video game franchise. For enthusiasts of crossover collaborations, this card represents a significant piece of modern Magic history.
