Item Condition

Magic: The Gathering single: Ancient Tomb, from Tempest. Our grade: Lightly Played or better. Pictured: this printing of the card. Every card ships triple-sleeved — a soft sleeve, a deck sleeve and a rigid top loader.

Item Description

Two mana from a single land on the first turn rewrites how a game opens, and Ancient Tomb has been doing it since Tempest in 1997. Tap it for {C}{C} and it deals 2 damage to you. That is double the output of a basic land, which means two mana on turn one, three on turn two and a big colorless threat or artifact on the battlefield long before anyone expects it.

The cost is a little life every time, and many decks happily pay it. Commander players especially love it, since 40 starting life makes a few points of damage cheap insurance for jumping ahead, and artifact, Eldrazi and colorless-heavy builds put the extra mana to work right away. It has been a fixture of fast-mana decks for decades, and few lands change the pace of a game as quickly.

This is the original Tempest printing, collector number 315, illustrated by Colin MacNeil, in non-foil, with the classic 1997 card frame. The Vec tomb inscription in its flavor text sets the mood: "There is no glory to be gained in the kingdom of the dead."
