Barad-dûr is a legendary land card in Magic: The Gathering. It represents the iconic dark fortress of Sauron in the fictional world of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. Here are its characteristics and abilities:

• Barad-dûr enters the battlefield tapped unless you control a legendary creature. This condition mimics the significance of the fortress being associated with powerful and legendary characters.

• It can tap to add one black mana (B) to your mana pool, which can be used to cast black spells or pay for black mana costs.

• Barad-dûr has an activated ability that costs {X}{X}B and tapping the land. This ability allows you to amass Orcs X. To activate this ability, a creature must have died during the turn. Amassing Orcs X means that you create a black Army creature token with a power and toughness of X/X. If X is a specific number (e.g., 3), the Army creature token will have power and toughness both set to 3.

The artwork by Tyler Jacobson captures the ominous and imposing presence of Barad-dûr, the dark tower of Sauron, against the backdrop of the ominous skies of Mordor.
