89% of drawn Sodden Verdure copies reach the battlefield, the highest play-through rate we see for any dual land in the dataset, with a median first cast landing on turn 4.0.

Sodden Verdure converts Green-Blue mana bases into smoother early turns, and tracked games show it. Of the 132 times the card reached a player's hand, 89% resulted in it being played before the game ended. That is a strong signal for a land that enters tapped unless two or more basic lands are already in play.

The card sits in 217 of the 1842 distinct decks tracked on Playgroup Live, good for an 12% inclusion rate across the live dataset. The concentration numbers are healthy: 189 unique players have brought it to a tracked game, and no single player accounts for more than 4% of all instances, so the data reflects a genuinely broad slice of the GU and five-color meta.

Sodden Verdure is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Duel Commander, Gladiator, and Oathbreaker. It is not legal in Modern, Pioneer, or Standard. Its Forest-Island dual typing means it is fetchable with cards like Misty Rainforest and counts as both land types for effects that care about basics, which is the core reason it slots cleanly into two-basic-rich lists.

Zimone, Infinite Analyst dominates the top-commander list by raw deck count, which fits: GU commanders most naturally meet the two-basic condition that lets Sodden Verdure enter untapped. Five-color commanders fill out the rest of the top ten.

Frequently Asked

How often is Sodden Verdure drawn in a Commander game?

Across 428 tracked multiplayer games where Sodden Verdure was in the deck, it was drawn 30% of the time. That is in line with what you expect for a singleton in a 100-card deck. Of the 132 copies that reached a hand, 89% were played before the game ended.

What turn does Sodden Verdure usually hit the battlefield?

The median first-play turn is 4.0. The p25 is turn 2 and the p75 is turn 6, meaning the middle half of casts fall between those two turns. A notable cluster lands on turn 1, which represents players who kept it in their opening hand alongside two or more basics and played it untapped immediately.

Does Sodden Verdure enter tapped or untapped in practice?

The card enters untapped only when you already control two or more basic lands. The strong same-turn play rate (61% of drawn-and-played copies reach the battlefield the same turn they were drawn) suggests players often have the condition met when they draw it mid-game, or they are choosing to play it early for the untapped mana. Early-game copies drawn into an undeveloped board will typically enter tapped.

Which commanders run Sodden Verdure most often on Playgroup Live?

Zimone, Infinite Analyst leads the list by raw deck count. The card is a natural fit for any Simic (GU) commander that wants a dual land counting as both Forest and Island. It also shows up in five-color lists led by Ashling the Limitless and Leonardo the Balance, where basic land counts tend to be lower and the enter-tapped condition comes up more often.

Is Sodden Verdure banned anywhere?

Sodden Verdure is legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Duel Commander, Gladiator, and Oathbreaker. It is not legal in Modern, Pioneer, Standard, Brawl, Pauper, or Pauper Commander. No ban is currently in effect in any format where it is legal.

How reliable is the Sodden Verdure data on Playgroup Live?

The multiplayer dataset covers 428 tracked games and 217 decks. Concentration is well spread: 189 distinct players have contributed instances, and the single heaviest contributor accounts for about 4% of all instances. Both conditions support treating the numbers as a representative directional signal rather than an outlier driven by one player's habits. Sample sizes for win-rate buckets are above 100 observations each, which adds further weight to those figures as early-signal reads.
