Windswept Heath is a Khans-cycle fetchland, and it's premium fixing for any deck running green and/or white. Fetching a Forest or Plains card means it grabs duals with those subtypes (shocks, Triomes, original duals), so it's far more flexible than just hitting basics. Why it's great: it thins your deck slightly, fixes colors perfectly, enables landfall, fuels delirium/graveyard synergies, and triggers "fetch matters" payoffs. In cEDH and high-power decks, the 1-life cost is a non-issue, and the ability to grab untapped duals is crucial for speed and consistency. Wants it: Selesnya, Abzan, Bant, Naya — basically any GW-adjacent deck, especially landfall (Lord Windgrace, Omnath), Tymna-style cEDH piles, or anything craving smooth mana. Skip it in budget builds (it's pricey) or if your deck doesn't run green/white sources worth fetching. If you only have basics to grab, a tapland or basic is fine and saves you the life and dollars. A staple — fetch it if you can afford it.
