Future Sight followed the trend created by the release of Dissension by being released in May 2007. The only block set to break the pattern of months after Ice Age Block is Dissension, which was released a month early, in May instead of June, because of the July release of Coldsnap. Also 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. Thus, beginning with Alliances, only year, not every month, of release is given for expansion sets in the table below. In the table below, expansion symbols and expansion codes are listed in parentheses following the name.īeginning 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. Wizards of the Coast also assigns a three-character expansion code to each expansion. It was be followed by another "mini block," Shadowmoor, which also consist of one large and one small set.Īll expansion sets, and all editions of the base set from 6th Edition onward, are identified by an expansion symbol printed on the right side of cards, below the art and above the text box. Wizards announced that Lorwyn will consist of one large set and one small set, released in October and February respectively. Traditionally, the large set of each cycle has been released every October, with the small expansion sets associated with it being released the following February and June this practice began with Alliances in June 1996.
Like the base set, stand-alone expansion sets contain basic land cards other expansion sets do not.
Expansion sets beginning with Ice Age have come in sets of three which form a "cycle" or "block" consisting of one large "stand-alone" expansion set of more than 300 cards, followed by two small expansion sets of less than 200 cards, which continue the themes introduced in the large set.
Expansion sets expand the game by adding new cards. The different editions of the base set each contain 302-449 cards, which have all been printed before, with the exception of Limited Edition, which was the game's first set. After being online for 8 years, KissAnime & KissManga have BOTH been SHUT DOWN, due to the increasingly stricter laws on piracy in Japan.Wizards of the Coast releases Magic cards in base/core sets and in expansion sets.
