History
The artifact lands heavily contributed to the dominance of the affinity-based deck archetypes, and thus, in March 2005, all six were banned from Standard (Darksteel Citadel, however, was later reprinted in Magic 2015, and the ban did not carry over with the reprint.) In the Modern format, all but Darksteel Citadel were banned from the beginning.
Due to the high amount of artifact synergy in Modern Horizons 2 almost twenty years later, R&D decided to try out a cycle of dual artifact lands for color fixing and as a resource in other synergistic ways. Because the set included a higher-than-normal count of artifact-targeting removal, it was decided to make them indestructible. The cards depict pre-Phyrexian Mirrodin.
Rules
From the glossary of the Comprehensive Rules (April 12, 2024—Outlaws of Thunder Junction)
- Artifact Land
- A combination of artifact and land that’s subject to the rules for both. Artifact lands can only be played as lands, not cast as spells. See rule 301, “Artifacts,” and rule 305, “Lands.”
Trivia
- The location depicted in each artifact land was also featured in the art of the appropriate Sun's Zenith card from Scars of Mirrodin.
- The artwork of each colored artifact land from the Mirrodin cycle was copied on a basic land from New Phyrexia, representing darker versions of the original.
- Ancient Den matches Plains (New Phyrexia, #166)
- Seat of the Synod matches Island (New Phyrexia, #168)
- Vault of Whispers matches Swamp (New Phyrexia, #170)
- Great Furnace matches Mountain (New Phyrexia, #172)
- Tree of Tales matches Forest (New Phyrexia, #174)
