[EDIT: Perhaps this is just the assiest card from this block...I don't mean to step on the toes of the "ass card" experts.]

[EDIT: added green genju]



Quote from: Paul Sottosanti
- A creature that gave mana acceleration to Blue made it most of the way through development before being dropped in the final stages.

 - The development team, having decided to commit to actually making White Weenie good, added Armageddon as a White rare, but it only lasted a week and a half before negative feedback from playtesters forced it out of the set.

 - There's a card in the set that almost died at numerous points because it carried with it the possibility of first turn kills in Standard, but it narrowly survived and still exists today.


[EDIT: Added this beast with a neat ACC ability.]



[EDIT: Full spoiler available at salvation. Here is an interesting card from the set:]

Tendo Ice Bridge

Legendary Land

Tendo's Ice Bridge comes into play with a charge counter on it.
T, Remove a charge counter from Tendo's Ice Bridge: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool.
T: Add 1 to your mana pool.

Rare

That card is a house when you compare it to all-stars like Wood Elemental,  Sorrow's Path, Aysen Highway, Adventurer's Guildhouse/Seafarer's Quay/etc., and the like.

Hey, let's be fair now.  Aysen Highway combos with Phantasmal Terrain.

4 points of power+toughness for 2 mana and you trash it? Try saccing a couple of forests to Wood Elemental if you fancy that level of raw power.

Remember that Curiosity is an Enchant Creature as is Rancor. 1WG for a 3/3 is very 'Noble Panther' except this bad boy would trample.

And White decks everywhere have been crying out for a decent 2 drop...

Not even close.

A 1/3 for a mere two mana is nothing to sniff at.

I can imagine many games I would not have lost in T1 if I would have topdecked this card.

Sarcasm from the man who has never been beaten by a 'harmless' 1/3 that drew its controller a card each time it attacked. 2 mana + Curiosity is a 'phid. The main problem with this card is that it is not a proper Vintage colour.

Harmless 1/3? I've died to Dragon Engine before.

I'm going to have to give the nod to Sorrow's Path for Worst Card Ever. Before Errata, you could at least Donate it and then kill an opponent by continuing to tap and untap it with Mind Over Matter. It made for a funny combo deck, at least. Now that it has been errataed to only deal damage when its ability is used, and not whenever it becomes tapped, even that one use of the card is gone.

Though, yes, I have had my Wood Elemental Terrored as well. Not a fun thing at all.

Pattern of Rebirth is also an Enchant Creature.  This card has some (but minor) implications in Extended.
