Paradox Gardens (SOS)

Land

This land enters tapped. {T}: Add {G} or {U}. {2}{G}{U}, {T}: Surveil 1. (Look at the top card of your library. You may put it into your graveyard.)

Niche mana source for blue-green strategies with graveyard synergies. Paradox Gardens enters tapped, making it slower than basic lands or efficient dual lands, but the surveil ability rewards decks that benefit from self-mill—like reanimator, dredge, or threshold strategies in Pioneer and Modern. The mana cost for surveil is steep enough that it rarely activates in competitive play, limiting this to casual Commander builds or very specific graveyard-focused shells where the utility justifies the tempo loss.
