Hi all. I used to frequent the Wizards.com boards under this name back in 2000 for a few years. I'd be tickled if anyone remembers me from back then. I wanted to just be BDD here, but I guess it was taken on one of the related wikis. Anyway, I started playing in earnest during Apocalypse, dropped off after Mirrodin, and have picked it back up not long before Eldritch Moon. Yeah, I missed a bit in there!

Set names
Thirteen sets share a name with individual cards:
 * Apocalypse
 * Conflux
 * Conspiracy
 * Hour of Devastation
 * Mirrodin Besieged (purposeful)
 * Morningtide
 * Onslaught
 * Prophecy
 * Torment</c>
 * Urza's Saga</c> (purposeful)
 * Visions</c>
 * Weatherlight</c>
 * And, purposefully, the whole Time Spiral block:
 * Time Spiral</c>
 * Planar Chaos</c>
 * Future Sight</c>


 * Of the cards, only Weatherlight is from a later expansion (excluding the purposeful callbacks). Conflux and Hour of Devastation are in their own sets.
 * Excluding Conflux and Hour of Devastation, Torment is the only one of these sets which contains one of these cards (Morningtide).
 * Each member of the Tempest block had one such card (in order: Apocalypse, Torment, Onslaught).
 * Cold Snap</c> gets honorable mention here.
 * Jumpstart basically shares a name with a mechanic.
 * Sets whose names would make good card names (totally subjective): Mystical Archive, Throne of Eldraine. Maybes: Battlebond, War of the Spark, Zendikar Rising.
 * Avacyn and Urza are the only characters included in set names.
 * Plane names are frequently included in set names now, but had not been done before Mercadian Masques. If you discount that since it's an adjectival form, Mirrodin was the first set with a plane name.
 * Weatherlight is the only specific item in a set name.
