# Mishra's Factory Mishra's Factory represents a pivotal moment in Magic's design history as one of the first manlands—lands that transform into creatures. Collectors value it for its foundational role in the game's mechanics and its appearance in Antiquities, Magic's second-ever set. The card's practical utility in constructed formats over decades has kept collector interest steady rather than speculative. The Antiquities printing remains the most sought version among serious collectors, though the card has been reprinted multiple times. Condition matters significantly here; even moderately played copies command respect due to the set's age and the card's historical importance. For collectors building Old School or Antiquities-focused collections, this is a cornerstone piece that demonstrates early design innovation.
