Jungle Hollow

Jungle Hollow was released in 2020 as part of the Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. It belongs to a cycle of lands known as 'gain lands,' which were designed to provide mana fixing for two colors while offering a minor life-gain benefit upon entering the battlefield. These cards were intended to serve as foundational utility pieces for Limited play environments, helping players stabilize their board states during the early stages of a game.

The card features artwork by Dmitry Burmak, who illustrated the lush, overgrown landscapes characteristic of the plane of Ikoria. The design intent behind this piece was to capture the wild, untamed nature of the set, emphasizing a visual theme of ecological resilience and organic growth. Upon release, the card was received as a standard functional inclusion for budget-conscious deck builders and players participating in sealed draft formats, valued primarily for its reliability rather than its rarity.
