Calm Waters
Island (0281) from Aetherdrift is a dependable basic land for blue decks that demand consistent mana and strategic timing. The art shows a domed lotus isle under a settling light with canals and watchtowers in the distance, a tableau that fits control and tempo decks alike. This Near Mint copy preserves crisp corners and clean surface, so it slides into your deck without distracting wear while still giving your battlefield a thoughtful aesthetic.
The card functions as any Island does in tournament play: it supplies a blue mana when tapped and interacts predictably with fetches, bounce effects, and cards that reference basic lands. Use Island (0281) to stabilize early plays, enable counterspell windows, or fuel Aetherdrift synergies that care about Islands. Practical, readable and ready for play or cube, it occupies a familiar role with a touch of the set lore visible in the skyline.
