Deck Utility:

• Mana Base: The cornerstone of any white-based or multicolored deck that includes white.

• Mana Fixing: In A Multi-Color Deck That Includes White, Plains is Essential for Casting Spells That Require White Mana.

Interactions and Combos:

• Landfall Triggers: Can Trigger Landfall Abilities Like Those Found in Cards with the Landfall Mechanic.

Flavor and Lore:
Plains of Depict fixed, open lands, or with themes of purity, peace, or majesty, reflecting the white mana they produce.

Overall Impression:
As a basic country, plains is a straightforward but essential part of any deck that requests white mana. It's the bread and butter of white decks, and there's rarely a reason not to include it in a deck that uses white mana.
