Tangled Skyline puts a Forest, Island, or Swamp onto the battlefield tapped for each land type among lands you control — potentially three lands for three mana. The catch is symmetry: every opponent gets the same effect, so it only pulls ahead when you're the one who cares most about the quantity or type of lands entering.

Tangled Skyline is a Commander card almost exclusively — the symmetry is tolerable in a four-player game where the net benefit skews toward the pilot who built around landfall or land count, and the three-land ceiling is genuinely powerful in decks that care about basics entering. In competitive 1v1 formats like Modern, Pioneer, or Legacy, handing your opponent free lands is a liability too severe to justify, and dedicated ramp spells do the job more efficiently without the gift. Oathbreaker follows Commander logic closely enough that the same landfall shells would consider it, though the faster pace narrows the window to extract value.

Price Context
Current price
$0.15 bulk tier
At $0.15, Tangled Skyline is deep bulk — you're picking it up in a trade binder or as a throw-in, not budgeting for it. Bulk rares rarely appreciate unless a new commander breaks them wide open, so treat this as a free include for the right landfall deck rather than a spec.
