Simic Source of Growth
Breeding Pool is a core Simic dual land that converts city mana into reliable blue and green access. The card reads plainly and matters in play: as Breeding Pool enters the battlefield you may pay 2 life; if you do not it enters the battlefield tapped. That choice defines early turns and sequencing. You gain immediate access to {G} and {U} when it hits untapped which makes it a natural fit for decks that value tempo or need both colors on the same turn.
In Ravnica Remastered the retro frame preserves classic art while keeping the ruling intact. Use Breeding Pool when you need flexible fixing without committing a basic land slot. It pairs neatly with shocklands fetch effects and with strategies that can offset the life payment through gain or efficient plays. The card belongs in any deck that leans on Simic synergy and expects smooth color curves.
