What it does
As this enchantment enters, choose a land type.
Each land of the chosen type has phasing. (It phases in or out before its controller untaps during each of their untap steps. While it's phased out, it's treated as though it doesn't exist.)
To buy unseen land, pay in unseen coin.— Suq'Ata maxim

Where it came from
Shimmer was released in 1996 as part of the Mirage expansion for Magic: The Gathering. As a set, Mirage was notable for being the first to be designed as a standalone draft environment, moving away from the chaotic mechanics of earlier sets toward a more cohesive and strategic gameplay experience. It was crafted during a period when Wizards of the Coast was actively refining the game's balance and thematic identity.
The card features artwork by Margaret Organ-Kean, who contributed several pieces to the set during this era. Her illustration for Shimmer captures the ethereal, shifting quality of the spell, utilizing a soft, painterly style that was characteristic of the fantasy art direction of the mid-1990s. The card was designed as a blue enchantment intended to disrupt artifacts, reflecting the set's broader focus on color-specific counters and environmental interactions.
