Island

# Island (Throne of Eldraine) This basic land represents a straightforward collecting milestone for many players. Island is essential for blue-based decks, making it perpetually relevant across formats. Collectors typically pursue complete set collections, and basic lands are necessary components of that goal, though they're often overlooked compared to flashier cards. The Throne of Eldraine printing features the set's fairy-tale aesthetic. While common rarity means copies are abundant and inexpensive, foil versions hold modest appeal for players building premium decks or cubes. Most collectors view basic lands pragmatically—necessary acquisitions rather than investment pieces, but still worth obtaining in the variant that matches their collection preferences.
