If an effect puts this land onto the battlefield tapped, you may pay 2 life, but it still enters tapped.

2025-11-17wotc

This land has two basic land types. It's not basic, so cards such as Tend the Sprigs can't find it, but it does have the appropriate land types for effects such as that of Kishla Village (from the Tarkir: Dragonstorm release).
