Holy Day
– Legends common. The Legends flavor text for Holy Day is from Silex Scintillans, a collection of seventeenth-century religious poems. The specific poem is “The Night,” which is how it’s credited in Eighth and Ninth Edition.

Windbrisk Raptor
– Shadowmoor rare. The Windbrisk Raptor was concepted as a roc, a giant bird that swoops down on its prey. If you look carefully, you can see a horse by one of its talons. That’s a large bird!

Muraganda Petroglyphs
– Future Sight rare. A petroglyph, as you are no doubt aware, is a carving or line drawing on rock, especially one made by prehistoric people. What does this tell us about the mysterious land of Muraganda? Not much, really. But we do get to see Muraganda itself in the Planechase card Feeding Grounds.

Winds of Rath
– Tempest rare. Pro Tour–Los Angeles 1998 was Tempest Constructed, which meant that the only “wrath effect” in the format was Winds of Rath. This goes a long way toward explaining why the key card in David Price’s tournament-winning deck was Giant Strength!

Mirrodin’s Core
– The art of Mirrodin’s Core shows the mycosynth core of the plane of Mirrodin. The core of Mirrodin is also depicted on other cards such as Mycosynth Lattice, Mycosynth Golem, and the Planechase plane Panopticon. In the storyline, the plane’s core was a sight seen by very few, the hidden lair of the plane’s mad warden, Memnarch.

Reki, the History of Kamigawa
– Saviors of Kamigawa rare. No, his name isn’t a typo. Reki isn’t a historian of Kamigawa—he is the History itself! The history of the kami war was tattooed on his body and transcribed after his death, implying that all of the flavor text attributed to the “History of Kamigawa” originated in one of Reki’s tattoos.

Wildfire Emissary
– Time Spiral “timeshifted.” It looks unassuming, but with 4 toughness and protection from white letting it dodge the two most popular removal spells of its time, Wildfire Emissary was a creature to be reckoned with. It even made it to the Finals of the 1997 World Championships in the hands of Janosch Kuehn. The freshly timeshifted Wildfire Emissary appeared in another World Championships Top 8 nearly a decade later, making it to the Semifinals in Nick Lovett’s red-white aggro deck.

Who/What/When/Where/Why
– Unhinged rare. Mark Rosewater knew he’d want to do a card like this in Unhinged, but was momentarily stopped by the fact that a card made up of two doubly-split cards would be only four colors, while Magic prefers groups of five. The solution? One more level of splits!

That Which Was Taken
– Betrayers of Kamigawa rare. That Which Was Taken represents the kami child of O-Kagachi, the theft of which began the mortals’ war with the kami. It’s very important to the story.
