Urza's Mine

Description

The Rinascimento expansion, released in 1995 by Wizards of the Coast, brought the Magic: The Gathering trading card game to Italian-speaking markets. This product is card number 177, titled Urza's Mine. It is classified as a Common rarity land card within the set's base checklist. The card's design credits Anson Maddocks as the artist. In gameplay, Urza's Mine functions as a basic resource generator. The printed rules indicate that tapping the card adds one colorless mana. The text also includes a conditional clause: if the controller also has an Urza's Power-Plant and an Urza's Tower in play, the card produces two colorless mana instead. This makes it part of a specific trio of artifacts known as the Urza's artifacts, which work together to accelerate mana production. The Rinascimento set is the first major Italian-language expansion of Magic: The Gathering. The Italian language variant adds a distinct layer of provenance for those building localized collections. This card is printed as a Common. The card's type line identifies it as a Land with the subtypes Urza's and Mine. This categorization places it firmly within the artifact land family that defined early strategic play. For investors in TCG history, maintaining a complete copy of the 177 card from this 1995 release offers a tangible connection to the game's global expansion phase.
