# Island (Battle for Zendikar) This is a basic land from Battle for Zendikar, one of Magic's most essential cards. Collectors pursue it primarily for set completion, since basic lands appear in every set and finishing a full collection means obtaining all variants. The foil version holds particular appeal for players building premium decks, as foils were less common during this era's print runs. While Battle for Zendikar lands don't command attention like iconic artwork from earlier sets, they remain steady targets for completionists. The nonfoil version is straightforward to acquire, but foils require more patience. Most collectors view basic lands as necessary checkboxes rather than centerpieces, yet they're still worth tracking when assembling comprehensive set collections.
