Anyone remember this 90s-era Magic: the Gathering calendar?

[RangerWickett]

So as far as I can tell, this thing is rare and practically unknown on the internet, but in 1997 or 98 there was a Magic calendar with variant illustrations of classic cards. The one I remember most clearly was Stasis, which was a strange clockwork thing floating in space.

Mind you this was 15 years ago, so the memory's fuzzy.

Does anyone else remember this calendar? Or, better yet, have it, and can scan the images? As far as I can tell there are perhaps 3 or 4 illos from it visible through Google Image Search, and none are the Stasis one. I'm wondering if I'm going nuts.

And I think this is it: RARE Calendar 1998 Magic GATHERING (1997, Vintage | eBay

I'm not sure I really want to buy an old calendar just to scratch an itch to see an illustration that might not even live up to my nostalgia. Can anyone help?

Stasis doesn't look like a clockwork anything.

Maybe you're thinking of time elemental?

I know the Stasis artwork was crappy, but the calendar had variant artwork.

I'm not aware of any alternate arts for Stasis, and wasn't able to find any on Starcity Games, either (which is pretty good about listing every freaking version of a card available).

If it was an alternate Stasis artwork in the calendar, I'm pretty sure it was never used on a card.

Another artwork that's similar to your description is Armageddon Clock.

Yeah, the art was never on actual cards. It was just like "hey, here's another interpretation of how Stasis could have looked."

Oh well, I'll just buy the damned calendar, and skip going out to eat once this month.
