Posted on September 15, 2015 by Two Jesses
Two Jesses Jesse K (IAnonymous on MTGO) is a Bay Area, California wizard who's been playing and complaining about Magic: the Gathering since 1995. In his free time he enjoys building Commander decks that he rarely gets to play, gardening, and bird watching. Jesse T is an improviser, educator, and level 30 flavor judge. When he's not crusading for justice in the streets of Boston, he can be found on MTGO as gob of spit.

Really enjoyed this. Hope to see more on other sets from this era. Can’t believe you skipped Jester’s Cap though, one of the more iconic cards of the era.
Y’know, these cards seem to be more MtG than the newer ones. The new ones could have been taken from LoL, Diablo etc, or at least quite interchangeable (for me at least).
These goofy old arts really speak to me, maybe because I played them
Underground River was drawn more in the vein of Underground Sea hence the pale art. The Foglios always drew caricature-like arts.
I guess back in ’94-’95 there were not (strict) conventions about fantasy in general anything was passable as anything else
