Hi everyone,
With Halloween aruond the corner, I thought I would update the basic lands in my reanimator deck to something that fits the holiday a little better.
I love the old bordered lands, and have found numerous creepy swamps to fit the theme, such as Swamp 340 from Mirage and the Snow-covered Swamp from Ice Age. I'm looking specifically for Mountains and Islands, but i have a golgari zombie deck that I would also put some forests in.
I prefer the old border, but a sufficiently creepy modern land will also work!
So, everybody share your favorite spooky lands to fit the Halloween season!

I would maybe look at the basic lands on Scryfall and hit "view all prints" on the right under the list of sets the card was in instead of shifting through sets on mythic spoiler.

I just realized that you said you had found swamps and I linked the swamp page. Mountains are hard, I didn't see any that I thought was objectively creepy on them. Maybe Mountain 196 from Hour of Devastation. Island 289 from Time Spiral seems pretty thematic to me.

Thanks, I ended up finding a site that has every basic land laid out in order of release so I had a look through that. I also didn't find much for mountains, but I did find Island 335 from Urza's Saga for anyone interested.

I was looking into those for a vampire tribal and a lovercraftian themed deck I built in the past. Tempest and Innistad should provide some darker and gloomy islands; for mountains, I would say again Innistad, then Ravnica (with the city landscape full of towers and spikes) and some from the old Invasion set also have a darker colour pallet.

FormOverFunction can you share your deck link? I love fun halloween decks.
This is a janky one I made a week or two ago and it's surprisingly playable despite having almost no ramp or card draw

Mythic Spoiler has links to every set, you could skip to the land portion of each page and browse to find some you like. My guess is Innistrad sets will have some nice ones.
