Darkslick Shores — Tainted Tidekeeper
Darkslick Shores is a straightforward tempo land that belongs in decks that need reliable access to blue or black mana. Darkslick Shores enters the battlefield tapped unless you control two or fewer other lands, which makes it an easy inclusion in two color builds and playable as a three drop in heavier mana bases. The ability to tap for either {U} or {B} turns awkward hands into functional ones and pairs well with early cantrips, discard spells, and control shells.
From the Outlaws of Thunder Junction flavor, Darkslick Shores reads like a shore where curiosity lures you in and trouble follows. On the battlefield it is practical and predictable. Play it on curve when you can and keep it in mind for Commander lists that value color fixing without adding extra enters the battlefield triggers or fuss.
