This ONE Land Can Cast ANY Spell in Commander?! (Planar Nexus)
Planar Nexus is a land card from the Modern Horizons 3 Commander set of Magic: the Gathering. It's a rare card that doesn't have any sub-types.
Strategic Uses:
Early Mana Fixing: Since Planar Nexus can be any nonbasic land type, it helps you find the specific mana you need early in the game, especially in decks with a variety of colors. This can be crucial for casting your spells on curve.
Urza Lands Synergy: Planar Nexus has the subtype "Urza's" in addition to being every other nonbasic land type. This means it can trigger abilities of cards like Urza's Tower, Urza's Mine, and Urza's Power Plant, giving you extra mana when tapped together.
Colorless Mana Sink: Planar Nexus can tap for generic mana, which can be useful for activating abilities that require colorless mana or for paying for colorless spells.
Considerations:
Vulnerability: Planar Nexus is just a land, so it's susceptible to land destruction spells. Be mindful of your opponent's deck and try to protect your Planar Nexus if it's crucial for your strategy.
Mana Cost for Colored Mana: While Planar Nexus offers great mana fixing, the colored mana ability requires one mana to activate, so it's not the most efficient for early turns.
