Port Town

Land

LegalRank #345

As this land enters, you may reveal a Plains or Island card from your hand. If you don't, this land enters tapped.

{T}: Add {W} or {U}.

Why is this card good?

Port Town is a quietly excellent dual land for any Azorius (UW) deck, and one of the most overlooked fixers in the format. The reveal mechanic means it usually enters untapped without costing you life (unlike shocks or painlands) — you just show a basic-typed card you're already holding. The key word is "basic-typed." Because it cares about Plains and Island types, it synergizes with shocklands (Hallowed Fountain), Triomes, and other typed duals — not just basics. The more typed lands you run, the more reliably Port Town comes in untapped, even in the late game. Run it in essentially any two-color UW deck: control, blink, flicker, spellslinger, or stax shells that want consistent untapped fixing. It's also fine in WUx decks with a healthy typed-land base. Skip it if your manabase leans heavily on nonbasic, non-typed lands or fetch-poor budget builds — then it'll too often enter tapped. With a typed-heavy base, though, it's an easy include.

    You may reveal any land card with either or both of the appropriate subtypes. It doesn't have to be a basic land. For example, you could reveal Canopy Vista from the Battle for Zendikar set to satisfy the ability of Port Town.

  • 2016-04-08

    Lands don't have a subtype just because they can produce mana of the corresponding color. Port Town itself is neither a Plains nor an Island, even though it produces white and blue mana, so you can't reveal one to satisfy the ability of another.

  • 2016-04-08

    If a Plains or Island is entering the battlefield from your hand at the same time as Port Town, you may reveal the other land to have Port Town enter untapped.

  • 2016-04-08

    If an effect instructs you to put Port Town onto the battlefield tapped, it will still enter the battlefield tapped even if you reveal a land card from your hand.
