Item Lore
Part of the 1996 Mirage set, Choking Sands is a classic example of early land destruction mechanics, specifically targeting non-basic lands with a swampy, arid aesthetic. While it is a common card, its utility in punishing greedy mana bases has kept it a recognizable piece of Magic: The Gathering's history for those who enjoy older, focused control strategies.
