Mountain

# Mountain (Limited Edition Beta) Beta Mountain represents one of Magic's foundational cards from the game's earliest competitive release. Collectors value it primarily as a historical artifact marking the transition from Alpha's ultra-limited print run to Beta's broader distribution. The card's significance lies in its scarcity relative to later printings rather than gameplay importance—it's a basic land that any red deck needs. Collectors typically approach Beta Mountains pragmatically, viewing them as affordable entry points into vintage Magic collecting compared to other Beta commons. Condition matters considerably here; even well-played copies command premiums over later editions. The nonfoil status is standard for this era, as foil technology didn't exist until 1997.
