# Plains — Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths Plains from Ikoria represents a straightforward collecting milestone for basic land enthusiasts. Most players and collectors view basic lands as functional necessities rather than premium targets, yet they remain foundational to any Magic collection. The Ikoria version offers both nonfoil and foil variants, with foil copies appealing to those building aesthetically cohesive decks or pursuing complete foil sets. Collectors typically prioritize basic lands from visually distinctive sets, and Ikoria's art direction makes its lands worth considering. While not inherently scarce or valuable, having multiple copies—especially foils—supports both casual play and collection completeness. Basic lands occupy an interesting space where utility and artistry intersect.
