10th edition was the best core set ever. Interesting, powerful legendary creatures, the manlands, and many other powerful, flavorful and interesting cards from Magic's past.

Braid_of_Fire's Card of the Day #4
Definitely not the strongest of the cycle, but very white, perhaps even to a fault. With all of the other man-lands in the bunch, they were there to sweep up the game post-wrath or when your threats just weren't staying on the board. This land can survive more than its brethren at the cost of almost never being used to get in there for extra damage. It certainly ruins your opponent's combat math, which is probably good enough for a CIPT land in your average 60-card mono-white pick-up deck (which, even with three modifiers, is one of the most common types of Magic decks in existence).
I saw the Xth edition printing of the card before being treated to the Urza's art, and I was amazed. This was the kind of land that would inspire me as a planeswalker and opened up a whole new kind of card. The art is as immediate as a land can be and the effect provokes an image of soldiers defending you as the last line after all of your other creatures are passed by. Sure, it prevents you from drawing mana from the land, but its utility is its greatest feature. The Urza's art does not present this same "battlefield" view, the kind of view that makes it feel like you're playing something more than a card came, but it balances out this emotion with one of Vorthosian satisfaction by nature of being situated on Serra's plane. I still prefer the Xth edition art, but I can appreciate all those who swear by the old frame and the iconic floating plains of the original.
