    Illustrated in oils by Alpha dual land artist and master painter/professor Rob Alexander, Unknown Shores is one of those utility lands from Theros (2013) that appears in formats like limited and certain budget builds. It can be tapped for a colorless mana, or you can add one mana of any color if you pay one and tap it. It mostly functions as a budget-friendly mana fixing option. Unknown shores is a staple fixing land in many Limited environments, where it can help smooth mana in multicolor decks, especially when no better options are available. It saw some fringe play in slower control decks or multicolor brews when stronger lands (like Crumbling Necropolis or s) rotated out. This card is not on the Reserved List, it appeared in multiple sets (Ixalan, Oath of the Gatewatch, Theros Beyond Death).
