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:
“In one notable instance, where the United States Army and a hundred years of persuasion failed, a highway has succeeded. The Seminole Indians surrendered to the Tamiami Trail. From the Everglades the remnants of this race emerged, soon after the trail was built, to set up their palm-thatched villages along the road and to hoist tribal flags as a lure to passing motorists.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Out in Hollywood, where the streets are paved with Goldwyn, the word “sophisticate” means, very simply, “obscene.” A sophisticated story is a dirty story. Some of that meaning was wafted eastward and got itself mixed up into the present definition. So that a “sophisticate” means: one who dwells in a tower made of a DuPont substitute for ivory and holds a glass of flat champagne in one hand and an album of dirty post cards in the other.”
—Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)
