Extraplanar Lens is a potent mana-doubling artifact, especially in mono-colored decks. By exiling a basic land, players can essentially double their mana output for that type of land. However, there's a risk involved: if opponents are running the same basic lands, they also benefit from the effect. This is why some players pair the Lens with non-basic lands or snow-covered lands to maximize their advantage while minimizing the benefit to opponents. The Lens can supercharge a player's mana production, enabling them to cast high-cost spells earlier and potentially overwhelm opponents.
