# Plains (The Hobbit) This Plains represents Magic's ongoing practice of licensing intellectual properties for special sets. The Hobbit version appeals to collectors interested in themed basic lands, which have become increasingly collectible despite their common rarity. Most players view basic lands pragmatically, but special editions attract those building thematic decks or completing set collections. The foil variant adds a layer of interest for collectors who prefer premium versions. However, basic lands typically command modest secondary market value regardless of variant, since they're functionally identical to any other Plains. Collectors pursuing this card usually do so for set completion or thematic appeal rather than investment potential, making it a modest but meaningful piece of a broader Hobbit collection.
