Because the “search” requires you to find a card with certain characteristics, you don’t have to find the card if you don’t want to.

The land put onto the battlefield does not count toward your one per turn limit because it was put onto the battlefield by an effect.

Context

This printing is one of 3 catalogued treatments from VMA — the lineup includes Foil and Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #318 of *Vintage Masters*, the set that shipped alongside the June 2014 Vintage Masters release.

Card type: Land, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters.

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #11,707 in Commander, putting it in the fringe-play tier of the format's playable pool.
