# Shape the Sands Shape the Sands is a common from Dragons of Tarkir that appeals mainly to limited players and casual builders rather than serious collectors. The card offers a straightforward effect—turning creatures into deserts—that sees occasional play in specific constructed formats but lacks the power or uniqueness to drive collector interest. Most players view it as a functional limited card that rarely makes the cut in constructed decks. The foil variant exists but holds minimal premium value over nonfoil copies since the card itself remains relatively obscure. Collectors typically acquire this only when completing full sets or pursuing specific themes, rather than seeking it out independently.
