Stomping Ground Price

Updated 2026-07-29

Stomping Ground from Guildpact is the original printing of the Gruul shock land, entering the battlefield tapped unless its controller pays two life. The card provides red and green access and appears in competitive constructed formats wherever those colors are viable, serving as a mana base anchor in strategies from Modern Gruul aggro to four-color Commander builds. The original Guildpact printing carries the first-edition art and set identity that distinguish it from reprints in Dissension, Return to Ravnica, and later Masters-set inclusions. The thirty-day price movement is modestly positive, consistent with the steady collector and competitive demand for original-printing shock lands. The Guildpact copy commands a premium over later reprints from players and collectors who care about the original art. This is a reliable long-term hold given the card's multi-format staple status. Watch for any shock land reprint announcement, which represents the primary risk to the premium the original printing commands.
