Gathering Place

A dual land that gates its color behind a promise about your manabase. The colorless mode never has strings attached, but the Selesnya production comes with a condition: green or white only on the turn this arrives, or once you control a basic land to vouch for it. That clause is the whole balancing mechanism. It plays like an untapped dual that lets you cast on curve while your manabase is still thin, then quietly reverts to a colored source the moment you commit a basic. The design threads a needle that tapped duals and pain lands solve with life or with tempo: instead of costing you a turn or a point of damage, it costs you a deckbuilding vow. Build a base heavy on basics and it is a clean two-color source; build a greedy nonbasic pile and it degrades into a colorless rock that can still fix on the turn you play it. It rewards the manabase discipline that lets it fade into the background, which is exactly what a good fixing land is supposed to do.
