Wizards of the Coast has tapped several Magic: The Gathering artists in the Phyrexia: All Will Be One set, showcasing variations of the mana on the former plane of Mirrodin.
Scheduled to become available through tabletop at prerelease events that begin on Friday, Feb. 3, the Phyrexia: All Will Be One (ONE) set contains multiple variations of basic and Dual-color lands. Each of the set’s new variations showcases an aspect of Phyrexian life, from Oil Slick raised foils to Panorama full-art basic lands that feature the plane’s suns bending to the will of Phyrexian Praetor monuments.
Sphere lands
The Sphere cycle in ONE represents the nine layers of the plane of Phyrexia. Each of the Mono-colored Sphere lands pays tribute to the Praetor who rules over that layer on the plane, with an activated ability that allows players to sacrifice the land in order to draw a card. The Mono-color Sphere lands won’t likely see much play outside of the ONE Limited format, as they ETB tapped, but they will help with mana fixing in Draft and Sealed while also providing card draw when needed.
There are four colorless lands that can either tap for any color of mana or have synergies with ONE mechanics. Of the four colorless Sphere lands, The Mycosynth Gardens might be the strongest as it can add one mana of any color or become a copy of a nontoken Artifact you control. The Monumental Facade synergizes with Oil counter themes, Mirrex can create a Toxic Mite, and The Seedcore has Corrupted.
Panorama full-art basic lands
Illustrated by Alayna Danner, the Panorama ONE full-art basic lands encapture how the plane’s suns answer Phyrexians and their monuments that have been built on the outer layer of the plane’s surface. The Panorama full-art basic lands in ONE can be found in Draft, set, and collector booster packs.
Dual-color lands
Dual-color Fastlands return through ONE, showcasing regular and borderless extended-art versions. There are only five two-color lands in the MTG colors WU, UB, RG, BG, and GW. The regular and borderless extended-art Dual-lands in ONE can be found in Draft, set, and collector booster packs.
Phyrexian lands
There are a total of five Phyrexian borderless basic lands, showcasing the Phyrexian language and art styles that align with each of the five Praetors. The Phyrexian borderless basic lands can be found in ONE set and collector booster packs.
Oil Slick raised foil basic lands
Exclusive to the Phyrexia: All Will Be One Compleat bundle are five basic lands with an Oil Slick raised foil treatment.
