Furious Assault
– Mercadian Masques common. The figures in the art for Furious Assault are Merfolk, even though they have legs. Although Merfolk exist on many planes, only the Saprazzans can grow legs and become bipedal.

Magister Sphinx
– Conflux rare. During playtesting, Magister Sphinx was named “Two-Punch Steve.” You can probably figure out why.
Monkey Monkey Monkey
– Unhinged common. Monkey Monkey Monkey was originally named “Monkey Monkey Monkey Monkey,” but that was too long to fit. So one of the monkeys got cut, leaving the card with 25% less monkey.
Ivory Crane Netsuke
– Saviors of Kamigawa uncommon. A “netsuke” is a miniature sculpture. So the art for Ivory Crane Netsuke, which shows a miniature crane carved out of ivory, is precisely on point.

В Омске заработал мигрирующий в зависимости ото дня недели клуб “АВАЛОН”. Огромное спасибо организатору клуба Алексею Распопову, активно ведущему клубное сообщество в своем городе и в интернете.
Snake Basket
– Visions rare. If you want as many snakes as possible as quickly as possible, Snake Basket is probably the number one option. On a snake-to-snake basis, it blows Orochi Hatchery out of the water!
Stalking Tiger
– Tenth Edition common. Stalking Tiger is probably more famous as a Magic Online avatar than as a card. It also got some prominence in 2001-2002 as part of the Pro Tour Team Name “Stalking Tiger, Hidden Gibbon” (Josh Ravitz, Matt Urban, and Paul Jordan).
Mantis Engine
– Tenth Edition uncommon. The Tenth Edition printing of Mantis Engine has flavor text spoken by Jhoira. But you’ll only see it on the foil version, because Tenth Edition foils made room for flavor text by eliminating reminder text!
Pang Tong, “Young Phoenix”
– Portal Three Kingdoms rare. Portal Three Kingdoms contains two of the only three Magic cards to have quotation marks in the name: Pang Tong, “Young Phoenix” and Kongming, “Sleeping Dragon” The other one is “Ach, Hans! Run!”.
Wall of Ice
– Limited Edition Alpha uncommon. As time went on, it became increasingly clear that a card named “Wall of Ice” had no business being a green card. So it was no surprise that Ice Age featured a blue card called “Glacial Wall“, which promptly entered Fourth Edition as the resident three-casting-cost 0/7 Wall.
