Again, real purpose behind the scanning was to add to TCDB, but other than the first few early sets which I think someone pulled images from the net to complete the scans, there are few and far between in most other sets.
There were not a lot of strong artifact cards in Visions, and I don't recall any of these every really cracking a deck I played, though they had their place in supporting roles. Sissay's Ring is a poor man's Sol Ring.
Moving onto Tempest, Lotus Petals were a good add to any deck for a quick mana add given no cost. Also, while not ideal, Manakin's were able to benefit a deck in a similar way.
I had to include this because I swear, I ended up with 20 of these at one point. They were everywhere. Not a great card, and no one wanted it, but it seemed to be everywhere....It's like a Cliff Floyd card in a baseball card repack.
Some of the card names, we found funny as kids - this would be a good example of such. Others were really powerful and memorable like...
Until I found a good way to have Colossus of Sardia in my deck given the mana cost, I had a couple of these instead.
Lastly, just to go with the Unstable cards I got from the fairly recent release, here are a few cards from the first Un-set - Unglued...
I love that I have all three of these, for obvious reasons.
Actually, that's a good place to stop for today. I go back and forth on whether I want to collect just the "Un" sets on top of artifacts, but I don't want to open myself up to collecting even more right now, I am happy with what I am collecting, and isn't that what it's all about, being happy with collecting...whatever it is you do.
