Utility Land

Lands whose value comes from a printed ability beyond mana production, giving a deck repeatable effects from the land slot itself. Strip Mine and Wasteland destroy problem lands, Maze of Ith blanks an attacker by untapping and preventing its combat damage, Bojuka Bog exiles a graveyard on entry, Urza's Saga builds construct tokens and fetches a cheap artifact, and Field of the Dead floods the board with Zombies. These cards earn a slot for the utility, not the color. Mana-only lands stay out of this set: basics, shocklands, checklands, and any-color command lands do nothing but fix or produce mana. Fetchlands are grouped separately as well, since their job is finding lands rather than providing a standalone effect.
