# Volunteer Militia Volunteer Militia represents Portal Three Kingdoms' attempt to create accessible fantasy flavor tied to Chinese historical themes. As a common, it was designed for limited play rather than constructed formats, making it a workhorse card in draft rather than a collector's prize. Collectors view Portal Three Kingdoms commons with mixed interest. The set's limited print run and regional exclusivity give even humble cards modest appeal to set completionists. Volunteer Militia specifically holds value mainly for collectors pursuing full Portal Three Kingdoms sets rather than for the card's gameplay or individual desirability. The nonfoil-only status reflects the set's era, before foil technology became standard. This actually makes even commons feel slightly more substantial to collectors seeking period-appropriate examples of early Magic printing.
