Blighted Woodland card art
Blighted Woodland is a land that sacrifices itself to put two basic lands onto the battlefield tapped — real ramp, not just fixing, stapled to a land slot. The cost is entering tapped and requiring six mana to activate, which makes it best in decks that want land-drop triggers rather than raw speed; Kodama of the East Tree and Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor both turn that two-land fetch into a cascade of additional value.

Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor

Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor

42.6% of decks · synergy 0.41

Obuun, Mul Daya Ancestor triggers off each land entering the battlefield, so Blighted Woodland's two-land fetch generates two separate triggers — double the counters, double the land-creature activations from a single activation.

02
Radha, Heir to Keld

Radha, Heir to Keld

46.0% of decks · synergy 0.39

Radha, Heir to Keld wants to hit land drops on every turn to keep mana flowing into combat, and Blighted Woodland's fetch gives her the burst of basics needed to stay ahead on drops in the mid-game.

03
Omnath, Locus of Rage

Omnath, Locus of Rage

36.6% of decks · synergy 0.30

Every land entering the battlefield under Omnath, Locus of Rage spawns a 5/5 Elemental, so Blighted Woodland converts six mana into two bodies plus whatever those triggers chain into.

05
Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald

Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald

30.1% of decks · synergy 0.24

Faldorn, Dread Wolf Herald creates a Wolf token whenever you cast or play a card from somewhere other than your hand, and Blighted Woodland played from the graveyard pile after sacrifice counts — it's repeatable token generation stapled to ramp.

Blighted Woodland is a Commander card through and through — the six-mana activation is slow by any competitive measure, but in a 40-life multiplayer game where you have time to develop, two basics entering simultaneously is a meaningful payoff. In Modern and Pioneer it sees essentially zero play; the opportunity cost of a tapped land with a prohibitively expensive ability is too high when games end on turn four. Legacy and Vintage have access to it but have no incentive to use it. Oathbreaker, like Commander, gives it a reasonable home in landfall-centric builds where the trigger count matters more than the speed.

Price Context

Current price

$0.33 bulk tier

At $0.33, Blighted Woodland sits firmly in bulk territory — it's a pickup you grab as a throw-in or from a bulk bin without a second thought. Bulk lands with narrow Commander appeal tend to stay flat, so there's no urgency in either direction; just run it if your landfall deck wants it.
