Arch of Orazca, Land, designed by Titus Lunter first released in Jan, 2018 in the set Rivals of Ixalan Promos and was printed exactly in 8 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander.
A deck that aims to control the board and generate a high number of permanents would benefit from using Arch of Orazca, especially in a slower, more controlling strategy. While the card draw ability is a strong advantage, there are better options available such as Castle Vantress or Castle Locthwain for more immediate and impactful effects. Whether Arch of Orazca should see play depends on the specific deck strategy and meta, as it can provide value in the right circumstances but may not always be the optimal choice.

If you cast a spell with ascend, you don’t get the city’s blessing until it resolves. Players may respond to that spell by trying to change whether you get the city’s blessing.

If your tenth permanent enters the battlefield and then a permanent leaves the battlefield immediately afterwards (most likely due to the “Legend Rule” or due to being a creature with 0 toughness), you get the city’s blessing before it leaves the battlefield.

Once you have the city’s blessing, you have it for the rest of the game, even if you lose control of some or all of your permanents. The city’s blessing isn’t a permanent itself and can’t be removed by any effect.
