Sphere is a nonbasic land type used for cards that depict the Spheres of New Phyrexia.[1]
Description
Spheres were introduced in Phyrexia: All Will Be One.[2] There are exactly nine cards with the Sphere typeline, corresponding with the Spheres of New Phyrexia.[1] Five of these form a colored cycle at common. The remaining four were then designed top down and put at rare.[1]

Other
- Monument to Perfection can search for a Sphere card. It is the only card that cares about the subtype Sphere. Ezuri, Stalker of Spheres, from the same set, doesn't interact with Spheres.
- Planar Nexus has the subtype due to its ability to have all non-basic land types, but it is not written on its typeline.
- Artifacts or Enchantments named Sphere (e.g. Commander's Sphere, Capture Sphere) can't have the Sphere type.

The land types are Cave, Desert, Forest, Gate, Island, Lair, Locus, Mine, Mountain, Plains, Power-Plant, Sphere, Swamp, Tower, and Urza’s. Of that list, Forest, Island, Mountain, Plains, and Swamp are the basic land types. See rule 305.6.
