# Island (Magic 2013) Island is a basic land, the foundational blue mana source in Magic. The M13 version holds modest collector interest primarily through its artwork and foil availability. Collectors typically pursue basic lands for set completion or aesthetic preference rather than investment value. The nonfoil printing remains abundant and affordable, while foil versions attract players seeking premium versions for constructed decks. M13 Islands appeal mainly to those building complete set collections or players who prefer this particular illustration for their blue decks. The card's ubiquity means condition and foil status matter more than rarity for determining collector appeal. Most interest centers on personal preference rather than scarcity.
