Foreboding Ruins

Description

Released in 2021 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Forgotten Realms Commander subset, Foreboding Ruins (card number 238, set code AFC) serves as a vital land card for dual-color decks. This Rare land card, illustrated by Adam Paquette, allows players to generate either black or red mana, making it a flexible addition to any B/R (black/red) commander strategy. The card's mechanic offers a strategic choice: upon entering the battlefield, you may reveal a Swamp or Mountain from your hand to ensure it enters untapped. If you cannot or choose not to reveal a basic land, it enters the battlefield tapped, requiring careful hand management early in the game. Collectors of the Forgotten Realms expansion often seek this card to complete their set or to build competitive commander decks that rely on efficient mana acceleration. Its simple yet effective design fits seamlessly into the thematic aesthetic of the Forgotten Realms, appealing to both casual and serious players of the trading card game. The card's versatility makes it a staple for those looking to expand their mana base in black and red focused archetypes.
