Notable Cards
- Ball Lightning — One of the most iconic red creatures in Magic, this card was reprinted in 4th Edition, 5th Edition, and Magic 2010. It spawned multiple imitator cards in later sets, such as Blistering Firecat and Groundbreaker.
- Blood Moon — This was the first card that penalized players for using non-basic lands.
- Maze of Ith — Although The Dark generally has a rather low power level, Maze of Ith quickly made it to the lists of restricted cards. Unlike today even Standard had a restricted list back then, but Maze of Ith was on the Vintage restricted list for some time as well. Despite being in rarity in between the other commons and uncommons of The Dark, Maze of Ith is the most valuable card of the set, far more valuable than any of the rare cards.
- Sorrow's Path — This card is widely regarded as being one of the worst land cards ever printed, along with the Legends "banding lands" (Adventurers' Guildhouse, Cathedral of Serra, Mountain Stronghold, Seafarer's Quay, and Unholy Citadel)

Famous quotes containing the words notable and/or cards:
“Every notable advance in technique or organization has to be paid for, and in most cases the debit is more or less equivalent to the credit. Except of course when it’s more than equivalent, as it has been with universal education, for example, or wireless, or these damned aeroplanes. In which case, of course, your progress is a step backwards and downwards.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“But cards are war, in disguise of a sport.”
—Charles Lamb (1775–1834)
