Now strictly better than the Alara tri-lands. Except it can't be played anywhere.

................................ is still think wizerds was high when they made the un sets. sort of useless without other @$$ cards but if you have an even # it will make an extra mana even if you dont have any 1/2 mana costs. with 1 you get 1, with 2 you get 3, with 3 you get 4, and with 4 you get 6. also it's any color mana witch means it is way beter to have than a basic land exept that it comes taped. cheep as s works well with this.

Wow, you cannot even type that word in comment, but in midway search for city of brass it suggests this, legendary censorship! I cannot even write a s s a s s i n without the censor freaking out ^^

I always thought "City of Bras" was a good contender for "silly names to come out of City of... an alloy of copper and zinc."

I give it 5. I have 6 of them for 3-color plus multi-decks... always brings up a laugh. But... it is the Unhinged Set, so it's not tournament legal.

Actually the flavor text is rather appropriate considering mana burn was still part of the rules when this card was released. So, unless you had a Little Girl to cast or some other way to use the extra half mana, you would end up losing a half of a life every time you tapped the C of A.

Better than Ancient Ziggurat. I could have fun with this.

Personally I find that the joke here is made in bad taste. The "Donkey" Cycle was a very smart and witty one... but this one ruined the "donkey" joke for me. That aside, removal of mana burn makes this card a casual gem! Its almost better than the original itself.

Best land ever. Strictly better than all of the Alara tri-lands. And of course, the pun...

(Okay, okay, it was released while mana burn was still a thing, but that doesn't matter now.)

Hoo boy. This thing got crazy after M10. No more mana burn makes this the third-best solely mana-producing land in the game. Only Tolarian Academy and Gaea's Cradle outclass it. 5/5

5/5 just because this card exists.

How does Sunburst interact with say two of these? Could you get say three counters on a Pentad Prism?

This illustrious and well-rounded city can be found in the rear-end of Dominaria.

Unfortunately, since it's so far south, you have to get up at the crack of dawn to reach it.

On your way there, watch out for the Canyon of Passing Winds. Some say it smells like roses, but others think otherwise.

And when you're there, you can visit the Town of Richard. It's just in front of it.

@ The_Wolf
No, it says "of any ONE color"

You can, however, get three with four each on them with four cities.

Even when mana burn was a thing, this was still strictly better than City of Brass, which was itself always considered a very good multi-color land.

Is this real?

@goblin_camp

Yes, this is real. You can find all lands from Magic: the Gathering (R) just out side of Atlantis.

Unfortunately, all the creatures went just out side Transideround and just yesterday all planeswalkers moved to planet Omochron Percie-eye 8

Send me a post card if you go visit.

Huh, according to a gatherer search this card and R%26D's Secret Lair aren't colorless.

Nor are they white blue black red or green.


Maybe they're pink?

@MillingMaster: Har har har. It was a serious question.

@goblin_camp: It's sorta real. It was printed in the silver-bordered set Unhinged, so it's not legal in any serious tournaments. Silver-bordered sets are all about having fun and pushing the limits of legality.
