Am I the only one bored by an article about easter eggs?  I get that there are probably dozens in the articles, but I don't know to look for them.  Sure, a little bit about why we include them, but then show us Easter Eggs.  Worst theme week ever.

I was more excited about the eight-post deck on "building on a budget" then the whole easter egg thing.

Anyone else noticed the C3PO in the Mirrodin version of Bottle Gnomes? Gold body, silver leg...

No room in the house exceeds a length of twenty-five feet, let alone fifty feet, let alone fifty-six and a half feet, and yet Chad and Daisy's voices are echoing, each call responding with an entirely separate answer. In the living room, Navidson discovers the echoes emanating from a dark, doorless hallway which has appeared out of nowhere in the west wall.

There's also "JOSH" in the blood and flames on one of the arts of Order of the Ebon Hand.

Hand of Justice has a pair of dice next to him showing snakeeyes.

Field of Dreams has an ace of hearts up her sleeve.

There's a portrait of Counterspell on Sage Owl's background.

All the Ice Age plains form a continuous picture.

Sol Grail anagrams as "Gorillas" because a lot of the cards in testing had gorilla names. There's a gorilla in the lower right corner of the art in the carvings.

There's a bigass skull on Songs of the Damned that runs horizontally.

There's a face in the green hand on Magistrate's Scepter.

The name DALE is on Misfortune.

The name ANDY is at the bottom of Parch.

On Wandering Mage, you can see PV96 in the magic coming off his staff.

A lot of card art has a random name somewhere in the picture. Most of the time its not even the artist's. I have seen this many many time. Hi-Val also pointed out several.

Some Easter Eggs are cool, but most of the ones the author revealed werent very good. The best one they really had to offer was the Liege of the Pit that decided to eat a bunch of kids heads.

The sword on the Ice Age Disenchant says "Magic" in the Ruinic Language, while the shield of Chaos Lord says "I am really mean."

Some printing press that was used to print charlie Brown stuff was also used to print some of the Medallions from Tempest, and you can see faint ghostlike images on them.
