Temple of Deceit

Description

The Temple of Deceit card from the 2020 Theros Beyond Death Promos set offers a distinct mechanical advantage for Magic: The Gathering players seeking dual-colored mana support. Identified by card number 245s and set code PTHB, this foil version features artwork by Jonas De Ro and serves as a functional land card that enters the battlefield tapped. Upon entering, the card allows you to scry 1, letting you look at the top card of your library and optionally place it on the bottom to refine your opening hand. Tapping the land produces either one blue mana or one black mana, making it a versatile foundation for decks built around the B/U color identity. The promotional nature of this print run distinguishes it from standard set releases, adding a layer of uniqueness for those tracking promo variants. While the card’s primary function is gameplay utility, its aesthetic appeal and thematic relevance make it a sought-after item for enthusiasts of the format. Completing a collection of Theros Beyond Death promotional cards often includes this essential land, as it represents a key component of the era’s design philosophy. The combination of its foil treatment, specific card number, and strategic utility ensures it remains a relevant piece for both players and collectors looking to expand their Magic: The Gathering holdings.
