Provenance

Where it came from

Orzhov Basilica first appeared in the Guildpact expansion in 2006, designed as part of a cycle of bouncelands representing the ten guilds of Ravnica. This specific printing was released in 2020 as part of the Commander 2020 product line, which focused on introducing new mechanics and supporting existing archetypes within the multiplayer format. The card serves as a utility land that provides dual-color mana while forcing a player to return a land to their hand, balancing its efficiency with a tempo penalty.

The artwork for this printing was created by Raoul Vitale, who captured the gothic, ecclesiastical aesthetic of the Orzhov Syndicate. His design emphasizes the imposing, opulent architecture typical of the guild, which functions as both a religious institution and a crime syndicate within the Magic: The Gathering multiverse. The card is widely recognized by players for its role in mana fixing and its historical utility in both casual Commander decks and older competitive formats.
