Onslaught (Magic: The Gathering) - Notable Cards

Notable Cards

  • Fetchlands - Flooded Strand, Wooded Foothills, Bloodstained Mire, Windswept Heath, and Polluted Delta. Fetchlands are frequently played in Eternal formats as they provide very effective mana fixing in combination with the classical Alpha dual lands.
  • Goblin Piledriver - A mainstay in Legacy Goblin decks.
  • Goblin Sharpshooter - According to a 2002 Latest Developments column written by then lead developer Randy Buehler, Goblin Sharpshooter was originally designed by Magic: The Gathering creator Richard Garfield for release in the Odyssey expansion, but was pushed back due to the absence of Goblins in Otaria.
  • Voidmage Prodigy - A wizard pit-fighter made in the guise of the 2001 Invitational Winner Kai Budde. The card was later given an alternate art, as the original art was rather poor and made Kai look extremely obese.
  • Naturalize - Printing the white artifact/enchantment destruction spell Disenchant in green started a trend of set designers redistributing certain game mechanics from their traditional colors to others.

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)

    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)
