Brushland

Brushland was first introduced in the 1995 Ice Age expansion, representing a crucial evolution in land card mechanics. As a pain land, it allows players to tap for either colorless mana or one of two specific colors at the cost of one life. This design philosophy created a balance between versatility and resource management, becoming a foundational staple for multi-colored decks across the game's history.

The Seventh Edition printing, released in 2001, marked a significant aesthetic shift as it was the first core set to feature card frames with modernized layouts. The art for this specific version was rendered by Donato Giancola, who sought to capture the stark, windswept nature of the landscape. Upon its release, the set was noted for its clean, standardized design language, and while the card's mechanical utility remained highly regarded by competitive players, the updated visual presentation remains a distinct point of interest for long-term collectors.
