Land
LegalRank #388
This land enters tapped unless you control a Mountain.

, , Exert this land: Add . If that mana is spent on a creature spell, it gains haste until end of turn. (An exerted permanent won't untap during your next untap step.)
Why is this card good?
Arena of Glory is a strong haste-enabler that costs you almost nothing in a red deck.
The exert ability gives haste to a creature you cast with its mana — meaning your big threats, reanimated bombs, or commanders can attack the turn they land without dedicating a card slot to Fervor or Hammer of Purphoros. It's a land, so it slots into virtually any red deck while still tapping for R when you need fixing.
Decks that want it:
- Big mana / haymaker decks (Zndrsplt, Krark, dragons, Eldrazi shells in Jeska/Ishai) that need their fatties swinging immediately.
- Aggressive commanders that benefit from racing — Krenko, Isshin, Najeela.
- Any deck reanimating or flickering creatures that wants to push damage now.
When NOT to play it: token-go-wide or burn decks that don't care about a single creature's haste, and lands-stressed three-plus-color decks where entering tapped (without a basic Mountain) hurts your curve. The haste is conditional on spending its mana, so it's wasted if you're not casting a creature.
