Island
# Island (Throne of Eldraine) This basic land represents a straightforward collecting checkpoint for Throne of Eldraine. Collectors pursuing complete sets naturally need all five basic lands, making Island essential rather than optional. The Throne of Eldraine version features the set's distinctive fairy-tale aesthetic, distinguishing it from Islands in other sets. Most collectors view basics pragmatically—acquiring nonfoil copies for set completion requires minimal effort or expense. The foil variant appeals to those building premium versions or curating aesthetically cohesive decks. Variant art treatments within the same set can matter to some collectors, though Eldraine's Island typically appears in one primary illustration. For set builders, this card represents the foundation of completion rather than a notable acquisition.
