Elegant Parlor — A Calculated Entrance
Elegant Parlor from Murders at Karlov Manor is a dual land that plays into midgame planning. It enters the battlefield tapped so you lose tempo the turn it arrives, but it compensates by producing red or white mana and by letting you surveil 1 when it enters. That small surveil helps sculpt the top of your library, either digging for a needed spell or setting up a graveyard interaction.
Include this land in decks that value color fixing and incremental advantage. The ability to choose between {R} and {W} fits Boros decks and three color shells that need consistent access to those lanes. The card reads plainly on the table and rewards players who plan their draws and graveyard state with precision rather than impulse.
