Yeah, I've heard that one of the Alpha islands was printed as a rare, but Gatherer doesn't show which one. Which one is it? Are they ashamed to show it?

Here's where it all started. One of the scariest cards in Magic to see on your opponent's side, and one of the most reassuring to have on yours. This is also my favorite Island art - the colors and layout are very relaxing and peaceful. And it's a genuine island too!

Ahhh, a real island, back from the days when islands were actually islands... not rivers or lakes or aqueducts or open oceans like you get today.

This is the rare one, according to this article: http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/mm/26

Pretty much the best Basic Land.

Maybe the best Magic card ever...

Most disappointing rare you could ever open... in Alpha, your rare could be a mox or a lotus. Instead, you get an island.
