84% of drawn Overgrown Farmlands are played before the game ends, and decks that resolve one show a +10.5 percentage-point win-rate lift over games where it stayed in the library.

Overgrown Farmland is a Green-White dual land that enters untapped whenever you already control two or more lands, making it a near-free inclusion in any deck that can run it. Across 557 tracked multiplayer Commander games on Playgroup Live, 16% of decks brought it to the table.

The draw-to-play figure is the headline: 84% of drawn copies were played before the game ended. That is one of the highest rates we see for a non-basic land, consistent with the fact that players almost never have a reason to hold a land in hand once they need mana. Median first play lands on turn 3.0, with a strong cluster on turns 1 through 3 when it enters untapped off an existing mana base.

The data comes from 257 distinct players, and the single heaviest contributor accounts for roughly 6% of all instances, so the spread is healthy. Overgrown Farmland is legal in Commander, Legacy, Pioneer, Modern, Vintage, and several other formats, though its home is clearly multicolor Commander decks anchored in Green and White.

≥ +2.0pp

Players who cast this card win 33% of the time (n=121) , vs 22% when it never left the library (n=403).

When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 20% (n=22) — about the same as leaving it in the library. Those players survived long enough to draw it, so the gap above is about the card resolving, not just about surviving.

Observed gap +10.6pp; 95% confidence interval +2.0pp to +19.1pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.

Felothar the Steadfast leads with 23 decks, but the list spans a wide range of Green-White and three-color commanders, showing the card earns its slot across the full GWx spectrum rather than clustering in a single archetype.

Frequently Asked

How often is Overgrown Farmland drawn in a Commander game?

Across 557 tracked games where the card was in the deck, it was drawn 25% of the time. That is a typical draw rate for a singleton in a 100-card deck. Of 147 instances that reached a player's hand, 84% were played before the game concluded. The remainder were mostly caught in late-game hands where the game ended before the land could be put into play.

What turn does Overgrown Farmland usually hit the battlefield?

Median first-play turn is 3.0, with a mode of 3. The distribution shows meaningful play on turns 1 and 2 as well, which reflects the land's untapped condition: if you already have two lands in play, this one comes down free. Players who draw it in their opening hand or first two turns can deploy it immediately with no tempo loss.

Does playing Overgrown Farmland actually correlate with winning?

The data shows a +10.5 percentage-point gap between the win rate in games where Overgrown Farmland reached the battlefield and games where it never left the library. Both buckets are reasonably sized at 121 and 403 observations respectively, so this is a consistent early signal rather than noise. That said, Playgroup Live's dataset is still growing, and land-quality effects are notoriously intertwined with overall deck quality, so treat this as directional.

Which commanders most often run Overgrown Farmland?

Felothar the Steadfast leads the multiplayer data with 23 decks, followed by Pantlaza, Sun-Favored at 12 and Baylen, the Haymaker at 10. The common thread is Green-White access or a three-color identity that includes both. Pure Selesnya (Green-White) commanders like T'Challa, the Black Panther and Jasmine Boreal of the Seven also appear, confirming the land slots most naturally into GW and GWx shells.

Does Overgrown Farmland enter the battlefield tapped?

It depends on your board state. The card enters tapped unless you already control two or more other lands when it comes into play. In practice, this means it functions as a true untapped dual from turn 3 onward in most games, which matches the median first-play turn of 3.0. Early in the game, or after a board wipe clears your lands, it may enter tapped.

Is Overgrown Farmland legal in Commander?

Yes, Overgrown Farmland is legal in Commander with no restrictions. It is also legal in Legacy, Pioneer, Modern, Vintage, Historic, Timeless, and several other formats. It is not legal in Standard, Pauper, or Pauper Commander. Its color identity is Green-White, so it can only slot into Commander decks whose commander has both Green and White in their color identity.
