Hissing Quagmire

Description

The 2016 Hissing Quagmire promo card (171s) from Magic: The Gathering’s Oath of the Gatewatch series stands out as a versatile dual-color land for collectors and players alike. Designed by Cliff Childs, this rare foil treatment adds a distinct visual appeal to the card, making it a sought-after piece for those who appreciate the aesthetic and mechanical depth of the era. As a land with zero mana value, it enters the battlefield tapped but immediately provides flexible mana production, allowing players to add either one black or one green mana to their resources each turn. What makes this product particularly interesting is its secondary ability. By spending one black and one green mana, the land transforms into a 2/2 Elemental creature with deathtouch until the end of the turn, all while retaining its land status. This dual nature appeals to collectors who value cards with unique gameplay mechanics that bridge the gap between resource generation and board presence. The black and green color identity makes it a functional addition to decks requiring dual-color mana bases, especially in formats where flexibility is key. For investors and hobbyists, the Oath of the Gatewatch Promos set represents a significant chapter in Magic’s history, and Hissing Quagmire’s foil variant is a notable component of that collection. Its rarity and the specific promo distribution method contribute to its desirability among those looking to complete specialized sets or acquire high-quality foil lands. Whether you are building a collection of dual lands or focusing on the Oath of the Gatewatch era, this card offers both functional gameplay value and collector-grade presentation.
