Lands and the mana they produce are an intrinsic part of Magic: The Gathering. After all, without lands, you can’t cast your spells. Furthermore, using full-art basic lands is a great way to add style to your deck and make it stand out from other decks. With the release of each new set, players of all formats eagerly await the reveal of the set’s newest lands. Streets of New Capenna is no exception and it certainly didn’t disappoint.
Streets of New Capenna released on April 29, 2022. With its release, the set finished the cycle of the powerful 3-color lands known as “triomes” that began in Ikoria. Each of the 5 families will have its own triome. Each one is also available in a “showcase” and “borderless” version. Additionally, the set has two different full-art basic lands for each land type. So, two of each of the following: plains, island, swamp, mountain, and forest.
New Capenna has some very powerful lands as well as some eye-catching full-arts. Considering the set is so loaded with notable lands, there is a lot to unpack. So, let’s dive right in and take a look.
New Capenna Triomes
The “triome” lands each have three basic land types and can tap for one mana of any of these three land types. For example, Savai Triome has the land types “mountian, plains, and swamp.” So it can tap for red, white, or black mana. Each one can also be cycled for three generic mana.

Full-Art Basic Lands
Almost every deck should probably run at least a few basic lands. That said, full-art basics are a great way to customize your mana base a little bit and give your deck some flare. Streets of New Capenna have given us 2 full-art basic lands for each land type. So, no matter what colors you play there will be new eye-catching lands for your deck. Let’s take a look at them.
Full-Art Plains
I have quite a few modern decks these would look great in. If you play white, regardless of format be sure to grab some of these.
Full-Art Island
Man, leaving mana open for counterspells has rarely looked as nice. The art for the one on the left is phenomenal. If you play blue and run basics, consider picking a few of these up.
Full-Art Swamp
As someone who plays black in almost all my decks, full-art swamps are something dear to me. These have everything players of black like to see in their lands.
Full-Art Mountian
This is exactly what a “mountain” in a metropolis should look like. The art on these full-art mountains is super intricate and colorful. Even if you don’t play red, expect to see lots of these while playing MTG in the future.
Full-Art Forest
Anytime I see vegetation growing through the cracks in concrete, it reminds me how resilient nature is. These full-art forests give me that same feeling. If you play MTG and have basic forests in your deck, you should grab a few of these for sure.
End Step
Lands are important in MTG. Therefore, it’s understandable that the new lands that come out with each new set are looked forward to. The New Capenna lands were no exception to this anticipation. New Capenna didn’t disappoint in the land department either. Regardless of if you’ve been waiting on a triome for your deck or you have a mono-colored deck you wanna fill with sweet full-art basics, the set has something for you.
