Ice Age was the last set to have 10 starter decks in a box. The cards were sold in 60-card starter decks and 15-card boosters. The print run is estimated at 500 million cards. It was released in early June 1995 and went out of print in February 1996, although it did not really dwindle in availability until the end of 1996. Unlike earlier sets, Ice Age didn't have a fixed printrun, but was only available in a certain time period. The plan was scrapped for legal reasons and recognizability. His original idea was that the game would keep reinventing itself and when Ice Age came out, it would be named as "Magic: Ice Age".
The Ice Age non-basic lands have a unique ice-colored text box.Įven though Alpha was released with the name " Magic: The Gathering" it wasn't originally Richard Garfield's intent that this would always be the name. The expansion symbol of the set is a snowflake, to symbolize the arctic nature of Dominaria at the time. Ice Age is the first expansion to have a cycle of "color hosing cards". It was also the first expansion to use the new tap symbol that was introduced in Fourth Edition. Ice Age is the first expansion to use the new white mana symbol ( ) that was first introduced in Fourth Edition and is still used today. All in all the set included about 8% reprints of old cards and another 8% of the cards were functional reprints. Because of this, it was the first expansion to reprint all five basic lands, staple cards like Swords to Plowshares and Giant Growth and popular older cards.
It is notable for being the first standalone Magic expansion set it could be played independently of other Magic products. You can watch a review from Tolarian Community College below, where the Professor gives these cases a coveted A grade.Ice Age contained 383 black-bordered cards (121 rare, 121 uncommon, 121 common, and 20 basic lands). These boxes hold a deck of cards in a horizontal format, which makes it easy to remove the cards. Sized to hold 100 standard double-sleeved cards, the Prism cases are perfect for a variety of games, from Commander decks for Magic the Gathering to constructed Flesh and Blood decks. The fit will not allow the case to open accidentally, keeping your card safe during transport. The cases have a secure snap closure and squeeze to open. You’re sure to find your favorite color, or show off what your deck is (or if you want to add a little psychology, what it isn’t). The available colors are Umbra Black, Cobalt Blue, Viridian Green, Sunset Orange, Infra Red, Ultra Violet, Pale Moon White, and Xanthic Yellow. These cases are made from a strong, translucent plastic, and have a matte shell. Let’s go over why Prism marks the perfect introduction to this new line. BCW is proud to present Prism Deck Cases, part of the forthcoming Spectrum line of card game and board game accessories.
