Mortuary Mire

Land

LegalRank #651

This land enters tapped.

When this land enters, you may put target creature card from your graveyard on top of your library.

{T}: Add {B}.

Why is this card good?

Mortuary Mire is a low-opportunity-cost utility land that recurs your best creature when it enters. Since it just replaces a Swamp, the "cost" is only entering tapped — and you get to rebuy a key creature in the process. Think of it as a one-time, repeatable-via-blink Raise Dead stapled to a land. It shines in black creature-centric decks: reanimator, aristocrats, and any deck running a strong sacrifice engine that wants to retrieve a finisher or a value piece like Gravecrawler, Sakura-Tribe Elder, or your commander after it dies. It also has nice synergy with land bounce/blink (Crucible of Worlds, Roiling Regrowth) to repeat the trigger. The downside: putting the card on top of your library means you skip a draw to redraw it, so it's slightly slow card advantage rather than instant value. Don't bother in spell-heavy, low-creature decks, or fast/competitive lists where a tapland's tempo loss matters and you have better recursion. Otherwise, it's an easy include.
