Flavor TextFortunately, Hill Giants have large blind spots in which a human can easily hide. Unfortunately, these blind spots are beneath the bottoms of their feet.
DescriptionThe Alpha set was designed by Richard Garfield and released in August of 1993.  This set consists of 295 cards, 74 common, 95 uncommon and 116 rares with 10 lands.  Alpha cards have black borders.  There is no set symbol for this set.  The easiest way to discern an Alpha card is the more rounded corner.   The estimated print run was 2,600,000 cards. 

Cards of note in this set are many, including the Power Nine cards at the top of the heap. Ancestral Recall, Black Lotus, Mox Emerald, Mox Jet, Mox Pearl, Mox Ruby, Mox Sapphire, Timetwister & Time Walk make up the Power Nine.  Additionally Dual Lands, Birds of Paradise, Serra Angel, Sol Ring & many other notable cards are found throughout the set.

5 stars just because I love the artwork. You gotta love this fat baldy carrying a sack and a club, maybe Giant Farmer would be more appropriate. For gameplay it is probably like one of the worst cards you can play unless you're playing a Giant deck. And then still there are better Giants out there. Oh yes and it can be removed fairly easily (lightning bolt, terror, etc). Personally I own about 12 copies of this card and I want more!

A good old standby from the earliest days of the game. A vanilla creature without a really low casting cost is probably useless in tournament play, but if you're a rookie playing a casual game there's a certain thrill that comes from plopping this guy down and going on the offensive. Plus it's got one of the most memorable pieces of flavor text in the game.
