Morphic Pool

Land

LegalEDHREC #139

This land enters tapped unless you have two or more opponents.

{T}: Add {U} or {B}.

Why is this card good?

Morphic Pool is a near-auto-include in any Dimir (or Dimir-containing) deck. The whole point of Commander is that you almost always have two or more opponents, so the "enters tapped" drawback is functionally irrelevant — you get an untapped dual that produces both your colors. That's basically a strictly-better Temple or tapland in this format. It's part of the Battlebond/Commander Legends cycle of "two-player" duals, and you want all of them that fit your colors. They smooth your mana, fix early plays, and never cost you life like shocklands or fetch-shock setups. Play it in any UB deck — control, aristocrats, reanimator, mill, you name it. There's essentially no archetype where you'd want fewer untapped duals. The only time NOT to run it: dedicated cEDH builds may prefer fetch/shock/original duals for shuffle and fetch synergies, and 1v1 formats (Duel Commander) where it enters tapped. In normal multiplayer pods, just include it.

    If you began the game with two or more opponents but now only have one opponent left, these lands enter the battlefield tapped.
