Start Strong with Starting Town
Starting Town from the Universes Beyond: FINAL FANTASY set offers a nuanced approach to mana ramping in early game turns. This Land — Town card behaves predictably by entering the battlefield untapped if played on your first, second, or third turn, allowing for immediate mana deployment. Beyond the initial turns, Starting Town enters tapped, which encourages careful sequencing of your plays. It taps for a colorless mana but also provides a valuable ability: paying one life to add one mana of any color. This flexibility makes it a versatile solution for multicolor decks that need reliable mana sources without sacrificing tempo early on.
From a tactical perspective, Starting Town reflects the spirit of classic RPG beginnings, where strategy and resource management define your path forward. It’s a rare land that offers both consistency and adaptability, fitting well into decks aiming to balance aggressive openings with sustained versatility later in the game. Incorporating this card can grant subtle advantage by smoothing out color bases while leveraging life as a resource, perfectly embodying the blend of Magic’s mechanics with the lore-rich world of FINAL FANTASY.
