Today, we look at a Legendary Land that was originally printed in Urza’s Saga, Shivan Gorge. The From the Vault: Realms version has some fantastic artwork, but overall, it’s a fairly underwhelming card. It can tap for one colorless mana or it has a second ability that for 2 and a Red plus a tap, Shivan Gorge deals 1 damage to each opponent.
In a multi-player environment in which you may need a mana sink here and there, it’s certainly usable. Also, as it’s a Legendary Land, you can only have one out on the board at a time (although with the new Legendary rule, other players can control their own single copy). In a burn-based Commander deck, Shivan Gorge is certainly an option, but otherwise, it’s just a pretty non-basic land.
