Magic certainly has its fair share of nonbasic lands across all formats. You probably know about the common ones already, like the original duals, utility lands, or creature lands. But one powerful nonbasic that often goes under the radar are the Urza lands, specifically the Tron variants.

Today I do a deep dive on everything you need to know about the Urza Lands. So let’s get started!

What Are Urza Lands in MTG?

The Urza lands have Urza in the name. They are often referred to as “Tron lands,” which are Urza's Mine, Urza's Power Plant, and Urza's Tower. Each one taps for colorless mana. The catch is that you get more than double that amount (seven!) if you assemble all three in play. This is great for colorless or gimmicky decks that like to assemble all three as quickly as possible to play expensive and powerful colorless spells early on.

The lands also aren’t legendary, so you can have multiple copies of each in play to accumulate well over a dozen colorless mana. This is especially strong in decks that run powerful but expensive colorless spells like Karn Liberated, Ugin, Eye of the Storms, and Cityscape Leveler.

List of Urza Lands

There are eight total Urza lands, with three being specifically used in Tron. The Tron-enabling lands are Urza's Mine, Urza's Power Plant, and Urza's Tower.

• Urza's Cave
• Urza's Factory
• Urza's Fun House
• Urza's Mine
• Urza's Power Plant
• Urza's Saga
• Urza's Tower
• Urza's Workshop

What Sets Are Urza Lands From?

Urza lands, specifically the Tron lands, have always been printed together because they obviously have little use on their own. The three lands have been printed in a number of sets, from all the way back in Antiquities to as recently as Commander Masters. Urza's Saga stands apart because it was printed in Modern Horizons 2. Urza's Workshop came in The Brothers' War Commander Decks, and Urza's Cave was discovered in Modern Horizons 3. Urza lands rarely come up, and only when the setting allows for it.

Here’s a complete list of each set you can find them in:

• Mystery Booster 2
• Modern Horizons 3
• Commander Masters
• Jumpstart 2022
• Unfinity
• Double Masters
• Modern Horizons 2
• Masters Edition IV
• Time Spiral
• Ninth Edition
• Eighth Edition
• Fifth Edition
• Chronicles
• Antiquities

Are Urza Lands Good?

The Urza lands are as good as you make them. The main thing holding the Tron lands back is that they’re strictly worse basics if you don’t have all three at once. This means you not only need to build a deck around using their mana efficiently, but also so that you can tutor all three lands consistently early on.

Most decks that use the Urza's lands, called Tron decks, play cards like Expedition Map, Sylvan Scrying, and Ancient Stirrings to make sure they always get their lands in play.

Tron: The Best Decks for Urza Lands

The best way to play Tron is the mono-green variant in Modern. Green gives you access to some great land tutors, like Ancient Stirrings and Sylvan Scrying, as well as some sweet tech like Boseiju, Who Endures and Thragtusk.

Where to Find Urza Lands

The three Tron Urza lands are pretty cheap on the secondary markets and aside from the Commander products are found in their original boosters. The Tron lands are always printed at common or uncommon, which means thousands of them are printed in every set they’re in. The cheapest versions, typically the white-bordered ones from Chronicles, go for less than $1 per card. This means you can pick up a full playset of each for less than $10 on TCGplayer.

Be ready to spend a pretty penny if you’re looking for MH2's Urza's Saga which also appears as a rare in Mystery Booster 2. This colorless enchantment land isn’t used in Tron, but it is used in just about every aggro deck in eternal formats because it provides incredibly utility and creatures to attack with. Urza's Workshop also commands about a $10 price as a land from The Brothers' War Commander Decks that can scale up its production of colorless mana.

Do Urza’s Lands Have a Special Land Type?

The Urza's lands have the type “Urza's” including the Tower, Power Plant, and Mine. There’s nothing special about the Urza lands when it comes to their card types. They’re nonbasic lands, but they’re also not legendary or special in any other way. Most notable is that they’re entirely colorless and don’t have any basic land types, meaning they can’t be found with fetch lands.

Urza's Saga, is an enchantment saga, which means that it doesn’t last forever and is more easily destroyed.

What Non-Tron Urza Lands Are There?

The Tron Lands: Urza's Mine, Power Plant and Tower

Aside from Urza's Mine, Urza's Power Plant, and Urza's Tower there are five other Urza lands that aren’t specifically the Tron variant.

Urza’s Saga

One of the most popular is Urza's Saga, a saga printed in Modern Horizons 2 that taps for a colorless, can create construct tokens, and fetches a cheerio or 1-mana artifact from your deck in its final chapter.

Urza’s Cave

Urza's Cave ends up costing and itself to search your library for any land which has real power if you have some of the best lands in Magic.

Urza’s Factory

Urza's Factory taps for just one colorless and can create a 2/2 Assembly-Worker for seven mana. This gives your all-lands deck something to do with but there are mana sinks that bury this factory.

Urza's Workshop

Urza's Workshop is a strong way to put metalcraft to use with a higher ceiling than these other lands. If you bring one of those artifact token generators online, you'll be in great shape.

Urza's Fun House

Urza's Fun House is firmly in the un-set category of fun cards. You for infinite mana and could bounce the land to do it again, but to do so, you need the black-bordered Tron lands. Then there's AskUrza.com which rotates though random effects that are worth anywhere from to , (if you count the mana Urza's Fun House could produce). The best ones I found were “You get an emblem with “Whenever you cast a spell, exile target permanent.” and “Create a 6/6 green Wurm creature token for each land you control.” The worst I found are “Until your next turn, whenever a creature an opponent controls attacks, it gets -1/-0 until end of turn.” and “Look at the top five cards of your library. You may reveal an artifact card from among them and put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.”

Are There Foil Versions of Urza Lands?

There are foil versions of Urza lands out there.

• The Tron Lands have foil variants in Double Masters, Masters Edition IV, and the Magic Online promo.
• For Urza's Factory, you’re looking at foil versions in Time Spiral Remastered, Time Spiral, Commander 2013, and the Magic Online promo.
• Urza's Saga has two foil variants. The first is the normal foiling of the regular card, and the second is the foil version of the showcase art.

Does the Urza Land Art Make a Panorama?

The Urza Tron lands from Double Masters got a special edition in which the three lands form a beautiful panorama when lined up horizontally with Karn Liberated. These are the only Urza lands that do this scene card thing, and each version is significantly more expensive than its regular counterpart.

Are There Ways to Make Urza Lands Work in EDH?

The Urza lands work in Commander, but they’re a lot worse for a few reasons. Your deck will be far less consistent since you can only have a single copy of each land in your deck. This also means that you can’t get more value by playing a second or third copy to generate more mana, even if you do assemble all three lands.

They’re only particularly good in already mono-brown with colorless commanders where they’re just strictly better than Wastes.

Are Urza Lands Legal in Modern?

Urza lands are legal in Modern. Despite their apparent strength, the decks are still limited by their need to have all three lands in play early on. This makes them significantly more balanced.

Are Urza Lands Legendary?

Urza lands are not legendary. This is very important because having the lands be legendary would seriously erase their power level. The best part about Tron is having multiple copies of the lands, not to mention getting more mana than you can handle!

Are Urza Lands Basic?

The Urza lands are nonbasics that don’t have any of the basic land types.

Are Urza Lands Artifacts?

The Urza lands are nonbasic lands and don’t have any other subtypes, including artifact, on top of their other types. That said, Urza's Saga is also an enchantment, which means it can easily be destroyed by enchantment removal.

Does Urza's Saga Sacrifice Itself?

Yes, Urza's Saga sacrifices itself after its final chapter like a typical saga.

Can Urza's Saga Make Two Constructs?

Yes, Urza's Saga can produce two construct tokens before it is sacrificed provided you have the mana to spend. The land itself gains an activated ability, so you use it during the second chapter, then again the next turn before the chapter 3 ability resolves and the card is sacrificed.

Which Lands Count for Urza's Workshop?

An Urza's Workshop counts the lands with the type “Urza's” which included the lands listed in this article. If you have a land with all land types due to a card like Omo, Queen of Vesuva, then those count too just like they count as locus lands.

Wrap Up

That wraps up everything you need to know about the different Urza lands in Magic! I’ve always been a big artifact and colorless player, which means I’ve had my fair share of playing the Tron lands.

What do you think of the Tron lands, or Urza's Saga? How do they compare with your favorite artifact lands? Are they super underrated and powerful thanks to their inability to be destroyed by most cards, or are they too hindered by the fact that you need lots of them?
