# Island (Portal Three Kingdoms) This Island represents a curious footnote in Magic's history as part of Portal Three Kingdoms, a simplified product designed for the Asian market in the late 1990s. Collectors view basic lands from specialized sets differently than from core sets—they're often sought as set completion pieces rather than for gameplay value. The Portal Three Kingdoms aesthetic, featuring art tied to classical Chinese literature, gives these lands distinct visual appeal. While common lands rarely command attention, collectors pursuing complete Portal sets need multiple copies. The nonfoil status is standard for the era, though condition matters more for basic lands than most cards since wear becomes visually apparent on such simple designs.
