Island

Description

This product page aggregates listings for a fundamental Magic: The Gathering trading card, specifically the basic Island card from the Mirrodin Besieged set released in 2011. Recognized by the set code MBS and card number 148, this piece serves as a core component for builders of blue mana strategies. The card is classified as a Basic Land, providing a consistent source of blue mana to support spells and abilities that require that specific color identity. Issued in 2011, Mirrodin Besieged is a notable expansion within the Magic: The Gathering universe, continuing the narrative of the artifact plane. This card, numbered 148 in the set, is printed as a Common rarity, making it widely available for collectors and players alike. The artwork for this edition was created by Jung Park, whose design contributes to the visual identity of the set's depiction of the Island. Collectors often seek out specific printings of basic lands to complete themed collections or to acquire cards with distinct artistic interpretations. While the gameplay function remains unchanged—allowing the player to add one blue mana by tapping the card—the visual presentation varies across sets. For those interested in the Mirrodin Besieged era, this product represents an opportunity to acquire a piece of that specific 2011 release.
