Set/block names (logos)

Ok, i just picked up a huge bunch of cards from a guy and was sorting through them last night.

there are Revised, Visions, Legends, Mirage, Tempest, Ice Age, The Dark, and whatever the block with Thrulls is, just to name a few.

basically from what i saw (and i spent 4 hours having to sort it all cuz he had no system whatsoever, just had em all in boxes, thrown together), there's a lot of commons, uncommons, and i don't know if anything is rare, i was just glancing through em while sorting.

my question is: what the heck is the set(s) with the logo that looks like a window/door in the shape of an arch? what's the set that has what looks like a brain? how about the set that has the open book as the logo? and wasn't there a re-release of the core set for beginners?

thanks, i was getting so excited last night, drinking my bourbon and coke, sorting these things and remembering the good ol' days :) and i've still got two long boxes to go!

The arched doorway is Stronghold. The open book is Weatherlight. I don't recall any sets that have a thing that looks like a brain... maybe Tempest, but that is a cloud...

Brain + lightning bolt = Tempest. (Actually a cloud, but who's counting?)
And yes, the set you're looking for is called Portal.

Oh, and the set with thrulls is Fallen Empires.

Portal was a set in itself, if I recall. Not a re-release.
Maybe you're talking about Starter, which was made up of cards from older sets...

yea it was like a beginner core set, the text on the cards is in bold and very kindergarteny, like for an enchant creature card it states "this creature has flying" or something to that effect.
