Canyon Slough

Canyon Slough was originally released as part of the Amonkhet set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game in 2017. Designed as part of a cycle of land cards known as bicycle lands, it was engineered to provide mana fixing for two colors while offering the utility of the cycling mechanic, which allows players to discard the card to draw a new one in the late game. The card features art by Adam Paquette, who leaned into the Egyptian-inspired aesthetic of the plane of Amonkhet, emphasizing the arid, desert environment that defines the setting.

The Amonkhet Promos version, specifically collector number 239s, was issued as a special edition typically distributed through organized play events or promotional initiatives at local game stores. These promo versions often featured unique foil treatments or set symbols to differentiate them from the standard set release. Within the community, the card was received as a functional staple for various formats like Commander and Modern, appreciated for both its tactical flexibility and its thematic adherence to the world-building of the set.
