These are tables of card sets for Magic: The Gathering, a trading card game published by Wizards of the Coast.

Wizards of the Coast releases Magic cards in base/core sets and in expansion sets. After the first set, Alpha, all the base sets up until Tenth Edition consisted entirely of cards that had been printed before. Beginning with Magic 2010, the core sets consist of approximately half reprints and half new cards. The core sets have ranged in size from 249 cards (Magic 2010) to 449 cards (Fifth Edition). Expansion sets, which have ranged in size from 92 cards (Arabian Nights) to 422 cards (Time Spiral), expand the game by adding new cards, with few to no reprints.

Expansion sets beginning with Ice Age have come in groups (usually three) which form a block (the preferred term in actual gameplay) or cycle (the preferred term when describing the associated storyline) consisting of one large "stand-alone" expansion set of more than 300 cards, followed by one or two small expansion sets of less than 200 cards, which continue the themes introduced in the large set. In recent years the large stand-alone expansion sets have had about 250 cards. Like the base set, stand-alone expansion sets contain basic land cards; other expansion sets do not. The large set of each block is released every October, with the small expansion sets associated with it being released the following February and May/June; this schedule began with Alliances in June 1996.

All expansion sets, and all editions of the base set from Sixth Edition onward, are identified by an expansion symbol printed on the right side of cards, below the art and above the text box. From Exodus onward, the expansion symbols are also color-coded to denote rarity: black for common and basic land cards, silver for uncommon, and gold for rare (the Time Spiral set featured an additional purple coloration for "timeshifted" cards[1]). Beginning with the Shards of Alara set, a red-orange expansion symbol denotes a new rarity: "Mythic Rare". For the early expansion sets (from Arabian Nights to Alliances), the rarities of cards were often much more complicated than the breakdown into common, uncommon, and rare suggests. The actual distribution can be found in the respective set's article.

Wizards of the Coast also assigns an internal development codename[2] and an expansion code[3] to each set.

Base/core set editions

Alpha through Fifth Edition did not have set symbols printed on the actual cards, though those sets were retroactively given set symbols in Wizards of the Coast's official Gatherer[4] database of Magic cards.

Expansion sets

Beginning with Alliances, expansion sets were given codenames while in development; the code names of the three expansions of a cycle usually fit together to form a phrase or common theme.[2]


Also beginning with Alliances in June 1996, expansion sets were released in a regular pattern: the base sets were released in October with the small expansion sets being released in February and June (Alliances was originally the third set of the block; it was retroactively made a second set with the release of Coldsnap in 2006). With the exceptions of Stronghold, a 1998 set released in March rather than February, and Scourge, a 2003 set which was released in May rather than June, this pattern of months was never broken, over a 10-year period, until 2006, when Dissension was also released a month early in May instead of June, because of the July release of Coldsnap. The third set in a block has since been released in late April or early May. Since 2005 there is a fourth release date each year in mid-July, that is reserved for Core Sets since they are released on an annual basis. Before that special releases such as Coldsnap and Eventide were also released in mid-July.[XXVII]


Most early expansion sets did not have exact release dates; they were just shipped out within the space of a week, and retailers could start selling them as soon as the sets were received. By the time of Alliances in 1996, however, release dates were set as Mondays (the earliest set with an exact Monday release date might possibly have preceded Alliances, but Alliances is the earliest set with a cited and confirmed Monday release date). Beginning with Mirrodin in 2003, the release dates were changed from Monday to Friday.


All sets beginning with Homelands[VI] also have a pre-release date, on which cards are sold in limited quantities in pre-release tournaments. These tournaments were formerly always held two weeks before the release date, but since Shards of Alara they are now held one week before the release date.

Compilations/reprint sets

Reprint sets are sets of certain cards from previous sets that were re-released for different reasons. Some reasons include the cards were fan favorites and popular demand brought them back or in some cases, reprints were to commemorate certain events such as widely known matches or anniversary sets. Some reprint sets revolved around a certain theme; for example, Beatdown was themed around old, out-of-print, heavy-hitting creatures. Reprinting a card in one of these sets does not affect when it leaves Standard and Extended.

Notes

^I : Two cards, the common Circle of Protection: Black and the rare Volcanic Island, were inadvertently left out of the printing of Alpha. Beta and Unlimited included the two missing cards as well as one additional alternate art variant of each of the five basic lands. Consequently, those two sets each have seven more cards than Alpha did.[113]
^II : When the Revised Edition was in production in 1994, a number of problems with the set became apparent. Some cards' colors were washed-out. The picture and color foreground for the Serendib Efreet were wrong (not that this was the first such misprint), and there was a growing concern with the Satanic images on some of the cards. The solution was to print a "fixed" version of Revised Edition, code named "Edgar", which has since came to be known as Summer Magic because it was printed in the summer of 1994. The cards were distributed in regular Revised Edition boosters, but no Summer Edition starters were produced. Despite its intended function as a fixed Revised Edition, there were problems with Summer Magic. On some cards, the colors were too dark. Furthermore, Hurricane was printed as a blue card and thereby became the most famous and most desired Summer Magic card of all.[114] The Serendib Efreet had its artwork corrected, but the artist name was forgotten to be updated. The artist name for Plateau was not corrected as well. Because of all these flaws, the entire print run was recalled and destroyed which led to Revised Edition shortage in 1994. However, a few booster boxes survived. Summer Magic cards can sell for over $1000 for notable cards and some as high $5000. Summer Magic cards can best be recognized by their 1994 copyright date.[115]
^III : The only cards in Fifth Edition to have an expansion symbol were those printed in Simplified Chinese in 1998.[116]
^IV : In addition to the 350 cards normally available in booster packs, the Eighth Edition Core Game contained 7 "starter cards" not available in booster packs, labeled with collector numbers S1 through S7. Ninth Edition contained 9, labeled S1 through S10 (omitting S6). These were simple "vanilla" creatures which were designed to introduce new players to the game but which were regarded as bad cards and disliked by experienced players.[12][117]
^V : 14 of the commons were printed in two subtle variations (called "a" and "b") making 92 total cards but only 78 unique cards.[16]
^VI : 5 of the cards came in 4 alternate art versions making the set have 100 total cards but only 85 unique cards. The different art versions also differ in rarity causing these 5 cards to make up a total of 6 commons, 9 uncommons, and 6 rares.[4][118]
^VII : The first pre-release officially sponsored by Wizards of the Coast was held for Homelands in New York City. Ice Age, which preceded Homelands, had an unofficial widely-attended pre-release in Toronto.[119][120]
^VIII : 15 of the commons came in 4 alternate art versions, while 20 of them came in 3 alternate art versions causing 187 total cards but only 102 unique cards.[121]
^IX : Homelands was not designed as part of the Ice Age Cycle and has no thematic or story-based link to the other sets in it. Wizards of the Coast retroactively declared it part of the Ice Age cycle in 1997 to fit with the then-emerging standard cycle structure. Nearly a decade later, in 2006, Coldsnap, which complements Ice Age’s storyline and design themes, was at last released to replace Homelands and complete the Ice Age Block. Homelands has reverted back to a standalone set.[122]
^X : All commons had 2 alternate art versions making 140 total cards but only 115 unique cards.[123]
^XI : All commons had 2 alternate art versions making 199 total cards but only 143 unique cards and 56 unique commons.[4]
^XII : The Coalition was a group assembled by Urza to defend Dominaria against the invasion of the Phyrexians.[124]
^XIII : Many creatures in the Onslaught Block had the ability to "morph." Morphed creatures looked like "clay spiders."[125]
^XIV : This does not count the alternate art for the uncommon card Template:Mtgcard. Counting each version separately, there are 89 uncommons and 307 cards in the set.[126]
^XV : In the Time Spiral Cycle there are special cards in each set known called "timeshifted". In Time Spiral TSP refers to all non-timeshifted cards in the set while TSB, which stands for "TimeShifted Bonus" (during development, the timeshifted cards were known as "bonus cards"), refers to the 121 timeshifted reprint cards.[1][127] The timeshifted reprint cards have a purple expansion symbol and are not counted towards the number of cards in the set. Instead they form a subset with their own collector's numbers. Each Time Spiral booster pack contains exactly one Timeshifted bonus card, replacing a common. In Planar Chaos there are 45 Timeshifted Cards (20 common, 15 uncommon, and 10 rare), however, unlike in Time Spiral they were not reprints but instead they were existing cards from the past which were "color-shifted" (known, iconic cards that were printed in a different color).[4][128] Colorshifted cards are recognizable by their slightly alternated border and background. In contrast to the timeshifted cards in Time Spiral the colorshifted cards in Planar Chaos and Future Sight are not bonus cards, meaning that they come in normal rarities and are counted towards the Collector's numbers of the set. Also timeshifted cards from Planar Chaos and Future Sight are randomly inserted into boosters. In Future Sight there are 81 timeshifted Cards, composing 27 of each rarity. However, unlike the previous sets these timeshifted cards have a future theme in that they have different frame than normal cards and have keyword mechanics that may appear in future sets.[4][129]
^XVI : Starting in Shards of Alara Wizards of the Coast introduced a new rarity level higher than rare called Mythic Rare in which a mythic rare card will appear in approximately 1 out of every 8 booster packs instead of a rare.[130]
^XVII : Chronicles, released in 1995 between Ice Age and Homelands, reprinted many previous cards, drawn from the Arabian Nights, Antiquities, Legends, and The Dark sets, that were becoming difficult to obtain but added no new cards to the game. Despite being published between Ice Age and Homelands, it is not considered part of the Ice Age Block; for purposes of tournament-legality, it was instead treated as an extension of Fourth Edition. The cards in Chronicles were reprinted with white borders, as opposed to their original black borders. Also Chronicles contained three uncommons with four alternate art versions meaning there are 125 total cards but only 116 unique cards and only 34 unique uncommons.[4][131]
^XVIII : Many of the early complilation sets did not have expansion symbols of their own and instead the cards within these reprint sets just retained the symbol from their former set.[132]
^XIX : Portal was a series of sets featuring simplified rules intended to introduce novice players of Magic: The Gathering to the game. When they were originally released, they were not legal for DCI-sanctioned tournament play, but the DCI changed its policy and the Portal sets became legal in the Vintage and Legacy tournament formats on October 20, 2005.[133]
^XX : 7 of the commons were alternate versions, so there are only 215 unique cards and 90 unique commons in Portal.[4][134]
^XXI : Starter 2000 was made up of two 22-card decks and two 15-card packs, all with a fixed selection of cards.[135]
^XXII : Astral is a set of 12 cards that was never actually printed on paper and exists only in the Microprose Magic: The Gathering computer game (with the exception of the oversized Aswan Jaguar included in the box). All 12 cards had abilities that depended on randomness and were therefore more practical to use on the computer than on paper.
^XXIII : Masters Edition and Masters Edition II are available only on Magic Online for a limited time and are not available in physical paper form.[4].
^XXIV : The Un- sets are satirical sets which, though also published by Wizards of the Coast, are not legal for DCI-sanctioned tournament play.
^XXV : Unhinged contains 1 ultra-rare, called Super Secret Tech, which only exists as a foil rare card.[136]
^XXVI : The first event that used Mirage product was Pro Tour Atlanta on 13 September 1996.[137]
^XXVII : The Lorwyn and Shadowmoor blocks consist of two sets each. They were released over the course of one year and thus deviate from the usual three expansion sets per year policy. Eventide was the second set in the Shadowmoor block and was released in July.
^XXVIII : Masters Edition II has 5 snow-covered lands from Ice Age – it is unclear which rarity these count in.
