Introduction
So, you might be wondering what makes this card so special. I mean, there are tons of cards in MTG, right? Well, my dear friend, let me tell you. Gemstone Caverns is a rainbow land, meaning you can tap it for any color of mana you need. And let's be real here, who doesn't love having plenty of mana available?
But wait, there's more. Gemstone Caverns has a special ability that lets you exile a card from your hand at the beginning of the game, and if you do, you get to start the game with Gemstone Caverns on the battlefield. Oh yeah, that's right. You get to start the game with one free land, and a damn good one at that.
