Riveteers Overlook
Land
When this land enters, sacrifice it. When you do, search your library for a basic Swamp, Mountain, or Forest card, put it onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle and you gain 1 life.
*Along the outer girders, in gold filigree, are inscribed the names of all those who fell to their deaths during construction.*
Why Play Riveteers Overlook
Budget three-color decks operating in Jund colors (black-red-green) benefit most from this land's fixing ability. While entering tapped makes it slower than premium options, the guaranteed basic land helps smooth early draws and provides immediate mana fixing for aggressive strategies. The one life gain occasionally matters in aggressive matchups, and the basic land it fetches is immune to nonbasic land hate like Blood Moon.Format Notes
Pauper sees the most competitive play for Riveteers Overlook, where three-color mana bases struggle without expensive dual lands. Pioneer and Modern decks typically prefer faster options, though budget builds sometimes include it as additional copies of fixing alongside better lands. Commander players running Jund color combinations on a budget often include it as one of many utility lands in their 99-card decks.Combos & Synergies
Landfall cards like Scute Swarm and Omnath, Locus of Rage trigger twice from a single Riveteers Overlook, making it particularly valuable in lands-matter strategies. Titania, Protector of Argoth creates a 5/3 Elemental when the Overlook sacrifices itself, providing immediate board presence. Life gain payoffs such as Ajani's Pridemate also benefit from the small but consistent life boost each copy provides.Featured in These Decks
