What it does
Whenever a land an opponent controls enters, that player loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.
The mystic bond between spellcasters and the land is just as vulnerable to attack as the casters themselves.

Where it came from
Polluted Bonds was released in 2008 as part of the Shadowmoor set for Magic: The Gathering. The set introduced a shift toward hybrid mana and focused on a gothic, fairy-tale-inspired plane caught in an eternal twilight, where the distinction between light and shadow was constantly blurred. This card was designed as a rare black enchantment intended to punish opponents for playing lands, reflecting the set's themes of decay and resource taxation.
The card features artwork by Christopher Moeller, a long-time contributor to the game known for his painterly, evocative style. Moeller’s illustration captures the oppressive and parasitic nature of the effect, using a dark, muted palette to convey the corruption of the land. Upon its release, it was noted by players as a niche but effective tool in commander and casual formats for players looking to slow down ramp-heavy strategies.
