==Description==
The battle lands are noteworthy for being one of few dual land cycles with [[basic land]] types, along with the original [[Alpha]] dual lands, the [[Amonkhet]] Dual-colored Cycling Lands, the [[Dominaria United]] dual lands, and the [[shock land]]s. 

They enter the battlefield tapped, unless their controller controls at least two basic lands.

==Trivia==
* A name for this land cycle was not immediately obvious, and suggestions included "base" (they work best with basics) and "tango" ("[[wikipedia:It_takes_two_to_tango |it takes two to tango]]") lands.<ref>[https://twitter.com/wizards_magic/status/637823811556110336 Magic: The Gathering on Twitter (30 Aug 2015) "#MTGBFZ introduces a new cycle of dual lands! #PAXPrime"]</ref><ref>[https://mtggrindersaus.wordpress.com/2015/09/03/battle-for-zendikar-dual-lands/ David Lane (September 3, 2015) "Battle for Zendikar Dual Lands Analysis".

* Between February 13 and April 16, 2017, shops could run a series of fun [[Standard]]. If a [[player]] participated in six events during this window of time, they received a special Battle land promo card using normal [[card frame]] but [[Masterpiece Series]] [[art]].<ref>{{DailyRef|daily-magic-update/update-2017-01-25|The January 25, 2017 Update|[[Blake Rasmussen]]|January 25, 2017}}</ref>
