Land Grant

Description

Released in 1999 as part of the Mercadian Masques expansion, Land Grant (card #255) remains a functional piece of Magic: The Gathering history. Designed by D. Alexander Gregory, this green sorcery offers players a strategic method for mana acceleration. The card allows you to search your library for a Forest card, reveal it, and add it to your hand, then shuffle your library. This effect provides a reliable way to ramp up your mana resources early in the game. A unique clause permits you to reveal your entire hand to cast the spell for free if you hold no lands, offering a critical safety net for players who have drawn themselves into a mana deficit. Collectors appreciate this card for its straightforward utility and its place within the Masques block's design philosophy. It represents the mechanical depth that defined Magic: The Gathering during the late 1990s. For enthusiasts building themed collections or seeking cards that embody the game's strategic evolution, Land Grant stands as a recognizable and respected component of the Mercadian Masques set. Its common rarity makes it accessible for new players while retaining nostalgic value for veterans who remember the era's competitive landscape.
