Myriad Landscape
Myriad Landscape appears in 13% of tracked Commander decks on Playgroup Live. When drawn, players cast it 86% of the time, making it one of the most reliably-played lands in the dataset.
Myriad Landscape sits in 13% of the 1,692 Commander decks tracked on Playgroup Live, a focused slice of the meta that skews toward multicolor and ramp-hungry strategies. The headline stat is its draw-to-play rate: 86% of drawn copies are cast before the game ends, the clearest sign that players treat it as a snap-include rather than a situational tool.
The sacrifice ability resolves a meaningful tension. Myriad Landscape enters tapped and produces only colorless mana, so players are accepting a tempo drag in exchange for a two-land fetch later. The median first-cast turn of 4 suggests most players activate the sacrifice ability in the mid-game, trading the land slot for two tapped basics rather than playing it as a turn-1 colorless source. Of the 71 observed drawn-and-cast instances, 58% were cast on the same turn they were drawn. The remaining copies sat in hand for an average of 0.8 turns before being played.
Myriad Landscape is colorless, which makes it a clean fit in any Commander deck running basic lands. It shows up across a wide range of commanders, with no single archetype dominating the top-10 list. Its battlefield stickiness of 40% reflects the card's design: it is meant to be sacrificed, not kept in play permanently.

How often is Myriad Landscape actually drawn in a Commander game? ▾
In Playgroup Live's dataset, Myriad Landscape was drawn in roughly 26% of the deck-instances where it was included. That is on par with any other singleton in a 100-card deck and does not indicate unusual draw density. Of 83 drawn instances, 75 were cast, giving that 86% draw-to-play rate.
Does casting Myriad Landscape improve your win rate? ▾
The data offers an early directional signal here, but not a conclusive one. Decks where it was cast won 33% of the time, while those where it stayed in the library won 35% of the time. That -1.6 percentage-point delta is very small and both sample sizes, 75 and 232 respectively, suggest it reflects the broader deck quality of who is running this card rather than the card hurting you. Treat this as a wash until more games accumulate.
Why is battlefield stickiness only 40%? ▾
Myriad Landscape is designed to be sacrificed. Its primary function is the {2}, {T}, Sacrifice ability that fetches two basic lands. A stickiness of 40% means players are activating the ability in 60% of the games where the card hits the battlefield, which is exactly the expected behavior. It is not a permanent you want to keep in play long-term.
What turn does Myriad Landscape usually get activated? ▾
The median first-cast turn is 4, with the interquartile range spanning turns 2 through 6. Turn-1 casts account for 17 of the 75 observed casts, most likely drawn in opening hands and played as a tapped colorless land early. The sacrifice activation itself typically happens later in the same or subsequent turns, once the {2} activation cost is comfortable to spend.
Is Myriad Landscape legal in Commander? ▾
Yes. Myriad Landscape is fully legal in Commander and Oathbreaker. It is not legal in Modern, Pioneer, Standard, Pauper, or Historic. Because it produces only colorless mana and has no color identity, it fits in every Commander deck regardless of color combination.
Which commanders run Myriad Landscape most in Playgroup Live? ▾
The top slots are closely bunched: Hearthhull, the Worldseed and Krang, the All-Powerful each appear in 9 decks, followed by Nelly Borca, Impulsive Accuser with 8. The full top-10 spans black-green-red, mono-blue, red-white, green-red-white, and black-blue. That spread across unrelated color identities confirms Myriad Landscape is being adopted as a generic ramp piece rather than a card synergistic with any specific strategy.
