Scavenger Grounds

Scavenger Grounds first appeared in the Hour of Devastation expansion for Magic: The Gathering, designed as a utility land to combat graveyard-reliant strategies. The card’s design serves a dual purpose: it acts as a colorless source of mana while offering an activated ability to exile all graveyards at the cost of sacrificing the land. This mechanical focus on graveyard hate remains a staple of the format, providing players with a necessary tool to disrupt opponents who seek to recur spells or creatures from their discard piles.

The version included in the Final Fantasy Commander set, marked as collector number 419, features thematic aesthetics intended to integrate the land into the broader Final Fantasy universe. While the card retains its original functional design established by Wizards of the Coast, its visual presentation in this series draws upon the iconic landscapes of the franchise. It was produced as part of a crossover collaboration aimed at blending the strategic depth of Magic: The Gathering with the storied visual identity of Square Enix’s role-playing series.
