Re: Loathsome Troll- imo, that ability is bad design. why? life counters are spin-down; you could theoretically rig the dice to roll better odds vs DnD esque RP d20's. what MtG player would have a RPd20 in his collection of Life counters?
Ardent Militia and it's ilk... "we're not walls" 5 for a 2/5 Vigilance, compared to Border Patrol 5 for 1/6, Standing Troops- 1/4 for 3, or Jhovall Queen/Knight of the Tusk a 3/7 for 6... that's basically +2 cc for a +1/+2 boost.

They actually provide a normal D20 with fatpacks (a big die!) and I assume pre/release kits for this set
i remember back in the day, FatPacks had a book, several packs, and a life-counter.

I always thought it was a weird choice to have Ley Weaver and Lore Weaver show up as different people in each other's artwork. I suppose they aren't legendary and it's just a common job assignment to be a L.Weaver with an assigned L.Weaver partner. Also in each art, the one assigned to the card is the "cute one." Anyways I've played them in Commander and they do alright as fair cards. It's kind of like having one card that both ramps and sinks your mana at the same time, and given infinite mana, Lore Weaver is a kill condition. They look a bit less appetizing in 60 card constructed, because although you can string together an 8-for-1 off of one of them, it's hardly breaking the bank when those are just 4 mana 2/2s.

DiTerlizzi was definitely one of my favorite MtG artists, along with the Foglio's.

These feel like wasted design space for a rare.
Would have been less clunky to have lands that tap for one color and an activated ability like pay one life to add the other color without basic land types.
ex
mountain stronghold
Tap: add red
Pay one life: add green
this could’ve been used in conjunction with set mechanics that interact with losing life.
It works well with some rakdos cards that care about losing life like knight of the ebon legion.
worse than the modern horizons lands, but can make some interesting deck designs

Pretty good tool against boardwipes for Sliver decks, you get to keep about half of your slivers. Doesn't have a real Chance Encounter combo the way Frenetic Efreet does, though.
