Land — Island Swamp

This land enters tapped unless you control two or more basic lands.
Why is this card good?
Sunken Hollow is a battlefield dual that fixes UB while still counting as both an Island and a Swamp — which matters for fetchlands, Urborg, and any "basic land type" synergies. The catch is the conditional tapped clause: it enters untapped only if you already control two or more basics.
That makes it best in decks running a healthy basic-land count, which is most two-color UB lists in the early-to-mid game. It's a clean, cheap inclusion for control, reanimator, mill, and aristocrats decks that want reliable colored mana without paying life like a shock or fast land.
The downside is real, though: in greedy three-plus-color manabases or low-basic decks (heavy on fetches, shocks, and nonbasics), it frequently enters tapped, making it strictly worse than a typed dual or pain land.
Play it in dedicated UB decks with enough basics; cut it from light-basic, high-tempo, or competitive manabases where the tapped land is a liability.
