# Obelisk of Bant Obelisk of Bant represents a straightforward mana-fixing common from Shards of Alara's three-color block. Collectors view it primarily as a functional artifact rather than a sought-after piece, though it holds modest appeal for those building Bant-themed collections or pursuing complete common sets. The card's utility in limited play made it a practical inclusion rather than a memorable standout. Both nonfoil and foil versions exist, with foils offering minimal premium value given the card's common status and limited demand. For most collectors, this card serves as a fill piece rather than a centerpiece, valued more for set completion than individual merit.
