Lore

Why it matters

First appearing in the 2005 Ravnica: City of Guilds set, Life from the Loam is a cornerstone of graveyard-based strategies in Magic: The Gathering. Its unique dredge mechanic allows players to recur lands from the graveyard, making it a highly valued engine for longevity and resource consistency in competitive formats.
