Context

Last observed on Scryfall 2 months ago at $1000.00. Over the trailing 90 days the price moved between $649.34 and $1000.00 across 45 observations. Cross-checked across TCGplayer, eBay sold, Cardmarket EU, and Star City.

This printing is one of 2 catalogued treatments from FBB — the lineup includes Nonfoil alongside the standard finish. Across our catalog the Rarix library tracks every variant in the same family so collectors can compare price, scarcity and demand inside a single lineage.

Card #288 of *Foreign Black Border*, the set that shipped alongside the April 1994 Foreign Black Border release.

Card type: Land — Forest Island, color identity green/blue, printed at rare. Rares occupy the bottom-of-pack rare slot in standard boosters.

Legal in Legacy, Vintage, and Commander. This printing is on Wizards of the Coast's Reserved List — Wizards has committed never to reprint cards on that list, which underwrites a structural scarcity floor on every surviving copy.

EDHrec ranks this card #363 in Commander, putting it in the popular-include tier of the format's playable pool.
