Artifact lands

From MTG Salvation Wiki

Artifact lands is a term used in reference to the six common land cards printed in Mirrodin and Darksteel that also have the artifact type. They contributed to the dominance of the affinity-based deck archetypes, and thus, in June 2004, all six were banned from Standard. The artifact lands are:

• Ancient Den (produces )
• Seat of the Synod (produces )
• Vault of Whispers (produces )
• Great Furnace (produces )
• Tree of Tales (produces )
• Darksteel Citadel (produces , and is also indestructible)

From the Comprehensive Rules 301.6. Artifact lands combine the characteristics of both lands and artifacts, and are subject to spells and abilities that affect either or both card types. Artifact lands can only be played as lands. They can’t be cast as spells.
