# Island — Zendikar Rising This basic land represents a straightforward collecting moment. Island from Zendikar Rising matters primarily because it's a common with multiple printings in the same set, making it accessible to complete. Collectors typically view basic lands as set-completion pieces rather than standalone targets, though the foil version appeals to those building foil decks or cubes. The nonfoil and foil split creates a natural collecting decision: casual players often ignore basics entirely, while serious collectors pursuing complete sets must decide whether to include both versions. The artwork and frame treatment reflect Zendikar Rising's aesthetic, which some find appealing enough to seek out despite the card's functional simplicity. It's ultimately a practical necessity rather than a sought-after piece.
