Complete guide
Planar Nexus is a unique land from Modern Horizons 3 that bridges the gap between various land-based synergies. By possessing every nonbasic land type simultaneously, it acts as a versatile tool for decks relying on specific subtypes. Whether you are seeking to complete a set of Urza's lands or activate a Gate-related ability, this land has you covered.
Every Type at Once
Planar Nexus has a static ability that grants it every nonbasic land type currently defined in the Magic: The Gathering Comprehensive Rules. This includes subtypes like Cave, Desert, Gate, Lair, Locus, Mine, Power-Plant, Sphere, Tower, and Urza's. Because it possesses these types, it interacts with any card that checks for their presence, such as 'Urza's' lands or 'Gate' synergies.
Mana Production
Beyond its types, Planar Nexus is a functional mana source. It can be tapped to add one colorless mana to your mana pool. Alternatively, you can pay one mana of any color and tap it to produce one mana of any color, effectively acting as a mana filter if you need a specific color to cast a spell.
A Note on Subtypes
It is important to remember that Planar Nexus only gains nonbasic land types. It does not gain basic land types like Forest or Island, so it cannot be searched by cards that look for those specific subtypes. Additionally, it remains a nonbasic land itself, meaning it is still susceptible to effects that target or punish nonbasic lands.
Interaction examples
Command TowerIf you control Planar Nexus and Command Tower in a Commander game, Planar Nexus helps by providing filtering. While Command Tower produces colors based on your general, Planar Nexus can use its second ability to convert any mana you have into a missing color required for your spells.
Exotic OrchardWhen you have Planar Nexus on the field alongside Exotic Orchard, the Orchard's utility depends on your opponents. Planar Nexus provides a stable backup; if your opponent's lands don't produce the color you need, you can tap Planar Nexus for colorless mana or use its filtering ability to fix your mana colors independently of the Orchard's restrictions.
