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:
“a notable prince that was called King John;
And he ruled England with main and with might,
For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”
—Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 2–4)
“The world is a puzzling place today. All these banks sending us credit cards, with our names on them. Well, we didn’t order any credit cards! We don’t spend what we don’t have. So we just cut them in half and throw them out, just as soon as we open them in the mail. Imagine a bank sending credit cards to two ladies over a hundred years old! What are those folks thinking?”
—Sarah Louise Delany (b. 1889)
