Buried Ruin

Land

LegalRank #199

{T}: Add {C}.

{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this land: Return target artifact card from your graveyard to your hand.

Why is this card good?

Buried Ruin is one of the best colorless utility lands available, and it's nearly free to include in any artifact-leaning deck. The colorless mana is a real cost, but the recursion is so cheap and relevant that it justifies the slot in most builds. Where it shines: - Artifact decks of all stripes — combo pieces, mana rocks, Sol Ring, key equipment. Getting back a bounced or sacrificed Sword or combo artifact for 2 mana is excellent value. - Aristocrats/sacrifice shells running artifact fodder, or decks that crack artifacts repeatedly. - Colorless and mono-color commanders (Karn, Traxos, Eldrazi) where it slots in seamlessly. When to skip it: - Heavily three-or-more-color decks where color fixing matters more than the colorless source — the tap-for-{C} drawback hurts your manabase. - Decks light on impactful artifacts; if you're only recurring a Mind Stone, it's not worth the colorless land. Cheap insurance against artifact removal, and a great rate when you have real targets.
