Minas Morgul enters tapped. {T}: Add {B}. {3}{B}, {T}: Put a shadow counter on target creature. For as long as that creature has a shadow counter on it, it's a Wraith in addition to its other types. (A creature with shadow can block or be blocked by only creatures with shadow.)

Far weaker than Undercity Sewers: it enters tapped and its five-mana activation only changes creature type under supplied text.

Band speculativeConfidence 68%

Could be wrong if Unrevealed Wraith payoffs or a relevant shadow-counter rules interaction could create a niche.

Pauper Eng.NLUsr.
Commander 28 Eng.FUsr.

A singleton tapped black land is tolerable, but five mana to make one creature a Wraith is highly narrow and slow.

Best home Wraith typal decksBand speculativeConfidence 50%

Could be wrong if Its value rises if the unrevealed environment supplies dense Wraith or shadow-counter payoffs.

Limited 13 Eng.FUsr.

A tapped Swamp is a real cost, and the activation has no meaningful battlefield impact without unrevealed Wraith payoffs.

Could be wrong if The incomplete set could contain Wraith or shadow-counter synergies that make the subtype change relevant.

Wraith type-changing land

“A tapped black utility land whose five-mana activation is too slow without substantial Wraith or shadow-counter payoffs.”

Rated on limited context — few cards from this set are revealed yet.

AI prediction made before release — not a measured result. Real performance data replaces this once the set is legal and tournament results come in.
