Interesting MtG facts

[5/9 Turtle]

Alpha and beta were supposed to sell out in six months but instead sold out in a week

Volcanic island is the rarest dual land. Plateau's revised art is different from alpha/beta/unlimited due to the original art proof getting lost.

On the back of all magic cards where it says deck master. There's a faint blue line. It's a line made on the design by accident with a pen before printing and it's been there since.

I've always wondered about that

Yup, they can't change the card backs to fix it. In addition, mtg has had no affiliation with "Deckmaster" for many years. But like that blue streak, it remains on the card back because changing it would disrupt playability of unseelved/transparent sleeved cards in eternal formats forever. Different backs = marked cards!

The PHYrexian symbol is the greek letter Phi. (when people ask him about it, Mark Rosewater only responds with "There are no coincidences : )"

I am now wondering if this was a hint that a greek set was coming up, they already knew because it was in the Five Year Plans.


Phi

Phyrexians

Theros (for comparison, because I think it looks similar)

Watching the 5th season of Hercules, and just realized that the staff that Zarusthra uses looks just like the expansion symbol and the symbol of the Church of Avacyn...

{Steamflogger Boss} was meant to be an ongoing joke with no intention of ever having a use. One of the designers of Future Sight admitted in an interview that it was a joke and blew the cover.

Kinda figures...

That depresses me though, because I was just thinking of how cool that could be!  I actually thought of it right before I checked your comment, thanks for ruining my dreams.

Oh well, now I shall try to find any cards that could be worth anything in Homelands...  {Digereedo} doesn't count.
