# The Bean The Bean is a quirky common from the Black Lotus Unknown Planechase set that appeals primarily to collectors of oddities and experimental Magic products. Most collectors view it as a curiosity rather than a serious acquisition, given its humble common rarity and straightforward nonfoil printing. The card's appeal lies in its association with the Unknown set itself, which represents Magic's more experimental era. Collectors interested in completing niche sets or those drawn to unusual card designs tend to seek it out. Its common status means it's generally affordable, making it accessible to casual collectors. The lack of variant printings keeps collecting straightforward, though the card's obscurity means detailed information about its original release remains limited among mainstream Magic communities.
