Actually, lands don't. Color identity in MTG is about the colors of mana symbols you pay to play spells and creatures. Since lands don't require any mana to play, they're the neutral party at the color identity party!

Lands = No color identity. Short and sweet. They just chill and provide mana.

Mostly, nope! In Magic The Gathering, lands generally don't have a color identity because they don鈥檛 produce colored mana inherently (unlike spells and creatures that are tied to specific colors). However, there are exceptions like the shocklands (e.g., Breeding Pool) and fetch lands (e.g., Polluted Delta), which are associated with the colors of mana they can produce or fetch. So while basic lands like Plains or Forest don鈥檛 have a color identity, some non-basic lands can have color identities based on their abilities.
