Tramway Station
Card Type: Land
Card Text:
Tramway Station enters the battlefield tapped.
T: Add B or R.
2BR, T, Sacrifice Tramway Station: Draw a card.
Flavour Text:
A ten-minute ride can take you to the luxury of Park Heights, or the grit of the Caldaia.
Artist: Alexander Forssberg

Strengths:

• Mana Fixing: Provides Black or Red mana, aiding in the mana curve for BR or multi-color decks.
• Card Draw: Offers a built-in card draw mechanic for the cost of 2BR and tapping it.

Weaknesses:

• Enters Tapped: The land comes into play tapped, delaying immediate use.

Deck Considerations:

• Rakdos Decks: A good fit for Rakdos Aggro, Midrange, or Control decks that can benefit from both the mana fixing and card draw.
• Sacrifice Themes: Could synergize well in decks that capitalize on cards leaving the battlefield or being sacrificed.

Flavor and Art:

• Flavor: The text offers a glimpse into the dual nature of the location, potentially reflecting the duality in Rakdos-colored decks between aggression and control.
• Artist: Alexander Forssberg's art would likely highlight the contrasting elements mentioned in the flavor text.

Overall Impression:

Tramway Station offers versatility with its mana production and card draw, albeit at a slower pace since it enters the battlefield tapped. Its sacrifice ability to draw a card can make it useful in the mid-to-late game when mana is more abundant and you're seeking additional resources. The art and flavor text are likely to add richness to the game's environment.
