Rarity & Collectability

Impressions & Artwork
If I'm being honest, the first time I laid eyes on the Jesper's artwork for Bayou as a child, I didn't think much of it. It reminded me of a wall of green and black tones with poor definition of definable objects. The more I look at the painting now, the more I appreciate it. There is an undeniable ominous feeling that it evokes, similar to being in a forest alone at night.
Usage & Gameplay
This land allows a no downsides dual color mana source of green and black. Yet another major upside is that it still counts as a swamp and forest, so is fetchable from the library.
