Nesting Grounds: Counters in the Nest
Nesting Grounds offers a practical path for midrange builds that lean on counters and flexible mana. As a Modern Horizons 3 land, it taps for colorless mana, giving you a reliable source of {C} without forcing colored mana commitments. The card’s presence on the battlefield stabilizes early turns and supports later plays with a simple, predictable line of play.
The real value lies in its counter moving ability. For the cost of {1}{T}, you can move a counter from a target permanent you control onto another target permanent, and only as a sorcery. This lets you reinforce a threat, redistribute defenses, or accelerate an overgrown board state as your strategy shifts. The flavor text hints at a nesting ground where adaptation and survival are built into the land itself.
