Shock Land

Two-color lands carrying two basic land types that enter the battlefield untapped only if you pay 2 life, otherwise arriving tapped, such as Hallowed Fountain, Watery Grave, Stomping Ground, and Breeding Pool. The pay-2-life clause lets them slot seamlessly into aggressive and combo decks needing untapped colored mana on turn one. Distinct from Dual Land, the original two-type lands that enter untapped with no life payment or other drawback, and from Pain Land, which deals 1 damage each time you tap for colored mana rather than once on entry. Also separate from Battle Land, whose untapped condition checks how many basic lands you control.
