Kishla Village — Coastal Scry and Mana Utility
Kishla Village is a pragmatic land for players who value flexible mana and card selection in the midgame. The card enters tapped unless you control an Island or a Swamp, so it rewards a dual color base while still offering both blue and black mana when you need them. As an experienced pilot will tell you, the ability to reliably produce either {U} or {B} smooths out turn sequences and enables a variety of plays from countermagic to removal without committing a slot to a tapped utility land that never does more than one thing.
Beyond raw mana, Kishla Village adds a late game axis with its activated surveil ability. Paying three and tapping it to Surveil 2 helps sculpt your draws and fuels graveyard synergies, which suits Tarkir themes where graveyard planning and topdeck manipulation matter. Use Kishla Village to shore up color requirements early, then convert it into card advantage or setup for delve and flashback lines when the game elongates. Add this Near Mint piece to any English deck that needs dependable blue black support and a modest looting effect built into a land.
