Shadow Marsh
Swamp from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan is a straightforward pick for any black deck. The art shows a brooding shoreline and relics half swallowed by water which fits the set mood without getting in the way of play. As a Basic Land this Swamp reliably supplies black mana so you can cast removal spells, grow your creatures, and activate abilities that demand a single black mana.
Use this Swamp in both casual and competitive builds where consistency matters. It is useful in mana bases that need simple, untapped access to {B} and it slots cleanly into mono black, two color, or heavier control lists. The card reads the way you expect a Basic Land to read and that predictability is valuable when sequencing turns in mid and late game play.
