In this 2025 guide, we’re highlighting some of the best lands and mana rocks under $1 that deserve a slot in your next brew. Whether you’re new to Commander or just looking to upgrade a few slots on a budget, these cards offer real value. From checklands and painlands to Signets and Talismans, this list is all about getting you on curve and casting big spells without spending big money.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a binder collector or someone who just shoves decks in your hoodie pocket (we’ve all been there). Damage adds up fast. Bent corners, scratches, water warping, and that mystery stickiness from your backpack? All enemies of a good collection. If you ever want to trade, sell, or even just flex your foils without embarrassment, your cards need a little protection. And trust me, your future self will thank you for not letting your $20 rare become a $2 bulk bin tragedy.
