Not everything from Homelands was terrible. If there was a draft environment back then, Hungry Mist would have made a fine common. I've pulled it forward to my set because 1). It never got the respect it deserved, and 2). It has a manageable upkeep cost on a playable creature. Wisdom wants you to keep cards in hand, and mana upkeep costs play into that. I didn't repeat that trick many times (I may not have repeated it at all, actually), because a lot of players don't like to keep paying to keep their creatures. The mist trades well enough, though.
