# Island (Dragons of Tarkir) This basic land represents a straightforward collecting milestone for many players. Island from Dragons of Tarkir matters primarily because it completes set collections—basic lands are essential for finishing any Magic set, and collectors typically pursue all available variants to achieve that goal. The foil version holds particular appeal since foil basics were less common in older sets, making them slightly more desirable than nonfoil copies. However, both versions remain abundant and affordable, as common basic lands print in large quantities. For most collectors, acquiring this card involves either purchasing a playset cheaply or obtaining it naturally through booster boxes and sealed product. It's a practical necessity rather than a sought-after piece.
