What it does
Whenever a spell or ability an opponent controls causes a land to be put into your graveyard from the battlefield, return that card to the battlefield.
The knight knelt and prayed, first for the sanctity of his land and second for the strength to repel its invaders.

Where it came from
Sacred Ground was originally released in the Prophecy expansion in 2000, designed as a rare enchantment to punish land destruction strategies. The card mechanics reflect the 'land matters' theme prevalent throughout the set, providing a reactive safeguard for players facing aggressive mana-denial tactics. Its inclusion in Ninth Edition, which was released in 2005, marked the card's debut in the modern card frame.
The art for the Ninth Edition printing was illustrated by Bradley Williams, whose contribution offers a more traditional fantasy aesthetic compared to the set's earlier iterations. As part of the Ninth Edition core set, the card was intended to provide a functional tool for white-aligned decks within the standard environment of the time. While it never became a staple of high-level competitive play, it remains a recognized piece of defensive utility in various casual formats.
