Forlorn Flats — Dust and Coin Forlorn Flats fits into midrange and aggressive black white shells that can absorb a tempo loss for a one time effect. The land enters the battlefield tapped and deals a single point of damage to a chosen opponent as it arrives. That damage can serve as reach against low life totals, a stray ping to finish off a planeswalker, or a trigger for any synergies that care about life loss from opponents. Use it when you need a reliable source of either white or black mana without committing a turn one play.
This Near Mint copy from Outlaws of Thunder Junction captures the set tone with desert imagery and a practical downside. In practice it smooths mana while offering a small but useful tempo interaction on entry. It pairs cleanly with fetch lands and sacrifice outlets and slots into sideboard plans against decks that punish slow starts. Treat it as a utility land that trades immediate speed for predictable color fixing and a tiny incremental advantage.
