Dimir Aqueduct

Description

Dimir Aqueduct, designated as card number 116, is a fundamental land card released in the 2012 Planechase expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Designed by artist John Avon, this card serves as a critical resource for players constructing decks that rely on the blue and black color identity. As a basic land type, it provides the necessary mana foundation for casting spells and activating abilities that define these specific strategies. The card functions as a tap land, allowing players to add one blue mana and one black mana to their mana pool. Its unique triggered ability activates when it enters the battlefield, requiring the controller to return a land they control to its owner's hand. This mechanic introduces a strategic trade-off, balancing immediate mana acceleration with the need to reposition resources. Collectors often seek out cards from this era to complete their Planechase collection or to acquire specific lands that support competitive and casual deck builds. Dimir Aqueduct represents a key component for those interested in the evolution of land card design during the early 2010s. Its inclusion in The catalog highlights the enduring appeal of strategic card game elements that influence modern Magic: The Gathering gameplay. Whether for personal collection or deck construction, this card remains a recognizable piece of the Planechase legacy.
