# Akoum Akoum represents a specific moment in Magic's multiverse design. As a plane card from Planechase 2012, it functions differently than regular Magic cards, existing primarily as a casual format enabler rather than a constructed staple. Collectors view plane cards as novelty pieces that capture the game's worldbuilding ambitions during that era. The card's appeal lies in its role within the Planechase format itself, where it creates memorable gameplay moments. Most collectors appreciate it as part of a complete Planechase set rather than as an individual card. The common rarity and nonfoil-only printing mean it's readily available and inexpensive, making it accessible for players interested in exploring the format without significant investment.
