Bayou
1993 Beta
Bayou is a Black-Green dual land from the Beta set, one of the original ten dual lands that tap for two colors without entering the battlefield tapped. As part of the highly sought-after Beta printing, it features the iconic rounded corners and slightly darker card stock. It remains a cornerstone of Legacy and Vintage formats, seeing consistent play in Sultai and Jund-style strategies.
Hold to Buy — Beta dual lands remain among the most historically significant and scarce MTG cards ever printed, with PSA 9 copies offering strong long-term appreciation as high-grade examples continue to dry up from the market. The black-green dual and a Legacy staple in Depths combo, Reanimator, and BUG strategies. Revised copies trade at a modest discount to the blue duals making Bayou one of the better value entries into the dual land market. Alpha and Beta copies are scarce in high grades. Strong long-term hold — black-green remains one of the most popular Legacy color combinations.
