Call Forth the Dead.

Innistrad is a plane of menace and dread where every creature hides a darker aspect. Here, hedonistic vampires stalk the shadows to quench their thirst, and the full moon can transform a simple villager into a savage werewolf. Best to huddle inside, Planeswalker, lest the horrors of this world rend you limb from limb.

The battle of Alara's Maelstrom is in your hands. Determine the fate of an entire plane and the outcome of an epic conflict between two rival Planeswalkers.

Magic 2012, like Magic 2011 before it, changes the terminology of the game by introducing the word "dies" officially to the Magic terminology, replacing the phrase "is put into the graveyard from the battlefield". The word "dies" was a slang term for this occurrence, with or without a trigger, before this change.

It also introduces a new keyword in Hexproof, which is similar to Shroud except the controller of the permanent can still target it. This ability used to be colloquially referred to as "Troll Shroud" in reference to Troll Ascetic, one of the first and most popular cards with that mechanic.

The keyword Bloodthirst returns after its initial appearance in Guildpact and a small cameo in Future Sight, though other Guildpact keywords will not. Unlike its appearance in Guildpact, Bloodthirst is particularly focused in black on its Vampire tribe.

The set will also see the return of Planeswalkers, though it will not be restricted solely to the original Lorwyn 'walkers as Gideon Jura and Sorin Markov have their cards in the set. For the first time, new (three) Planeswalkers are made for a core set. Like in Magic 2011, these planeswalkers get a number of cards referencing to them.

Assembled here are fifteen of the most powerful legends in Magic history, legends heralded for their devastating powers and fearsome abilities. As a Planeswalker, you have searched the Multiverse for such allies. That search is finally at an end.

This limited-edition set also contains an exclusive preview card, a mythic rare from the October Magic set code named "Shake."

Contents and Details:
• 15 Premium foil cards, including 7 with new art
• An exclusive spindown life counter
• A collector's guide
• Each card has been printed using a foil process unique to the From the Vault series.
• The 15 legendary creatures are all printed in the current card frame. For several, it is for the first time.
• From the Vault: Legends will be available world-wide in English only, and will have an extremely limited print run.
• All cards are black bordered and tournament legal. This means that these cards are legal for use in any tournaments where the original printings are still legal. For some cards, it is their first time with a black border.

It came not in the form of a noble struggle, a fair contest of warriors clashing will against will, but as a wave of unstoppable slaughter. Mirran partisans resisted bravely, using their wits and magic to fend off the onslaught that originated from inside their own world.

But their efforts were for naught. Phyrexia is victorious. Mirrodin now goes by a different name: New Phyrexia.

The greatest knights have gathered together to once and for all end the reign of terror that has plagued their lands for centuries. Holy paladins, noble cavaliers, and swift skyhunters all answer the call to hunt dragons to the death and restore order to the realm.

For dragonkind, the answer is simple - incinerate the invaders! Enraged goblin minions pour from the mountain crags to repel the intruders, but that's only to give the majestic hellkites time to take to the skies and unleash a firestorm that no knight could hope to survive.

Magic: The Gathering Commander is composed of five different hundred-card decks, with no card other than basic lands appearing more than once per deck. There are a total of 51 new Magic cards spread across them. And each deck comes with three foil over-sized versions of legends that also appear as regular cards in the deck. You can buy one of these decks and play it out of the box, or cannibalize it for your existing Magic: The Gathering Commander decks.

The 51 new cards will be legal in Eternal formats (that's Vintage and Legacy), but they will not be legal in Standard, Extended, or Block Constructed.

Steel Yourself for War!

• Mirrodin Besieged is the second set in the Scars of Mirrodin block.
• Cards in MBS are affiliated with one of the two opposing factions in the set.
• The factions are represented by the watermarks first featured in Scars of Mirrodin: one for Mirrodin, and one for Phyrexia
• At least some of the cards have mirrored counterparts in the two factions
• This small set consists of 155 cards

For these boosters, Mirrodin Besieged was divided into two halves. Cards with the Mirran watermarks appear only in Mirran boosters, and cards with Phyrexian watermarks appear only in Phyrexian boosters. There's also one basic land in each booster. Foil cards will show up at about the same frequency as they do in regular boosters and don't follow the rules about what booster they can show up in (both Mirran and Phyrexian foils can show up in either booster).

This version of Jace vs. Chandra is a JAPANESE LANGUAGE ONLY reissue of the popular Duel Deck. The two mythic rare Planeswalker cards feature brand-new art from Japanese manga artist Yoshino Himori, artist for of the Dengeki adaptation of Laura Resnick's novel "The Purifying Fire."

Everything about this is the same as the English version, except that it's in Japanese only and that the two foil Planeswalkers will have new art.

M11 will have 60-card intro packs. Unlike M10, the Intro Pack decks for M10 have re-expanded to 60 cards.

You are the Archenemy, and your goal is simple - the utter decimation of your fellow Planeswalkers. A force of unbridled malevolence, your power is so immense that their only hope is to join forces in a desperate attempt to defeat you.

Following in the tradition of Planechase, each Archenemy game pack will come with unique oversized cards and a 60-card Magic deck packed with exiting reprints from throughout Magic's history. Like Planechase, there are 4 different game packs. Unlike Planechase, the game format is "all vs. 1" instead of "Free for All."

Shards of Alara isn't just one new world for Magic: The Gathering, it's FIVE! Each shard of Alara is missing two colors of mana, and thousands of years of evolution have led to five divergent societies that are completely unaware of each other's existence. Bant is a land of knights and castles, ruled by angels. Esper is a world where everything is measured and controlled, and artifice touches everything alive. Grixis is a hellscape of death and decay, where everything is either undead or dying. Jund is a primordial world where dragons sit at the top of a vicious food chain. Naya is a lush jungle world where Behemoths are worshipped as gods.

Shards of Alara is the first set in the Shards of Alara block. It is a 249 card expansion with randomly inserted premium cards. It will be available in booster packs, intro packs, and fat packs.

As the gloom deepens over the world of Shadowmoor, the plane's eerie transformation is complete. Creatures from the macabre fringes of folklore thrive in the permanent night. Their mix of mischief and malice drives the wholesome elves and the xenophobic kithkin back into their strongholds, opening the door for sinister forces to reign.

Eventide is the second set in the Shadowmoor block. It is a 180 card expansion with randomly inserted premium cards. It will be available in booster packs, theme decks, and fat packs.

The Aurora has plunged Lorwyn into eternal night, transforming the once-idyllic plane into the eerie world of Shadowmoor. The gloom has transformed its denizens, too -- creatures of fable have become monsters from dark fairytales. Races and characters introduced in Lorwyn are back, but with twisted allegiances and new powers.

Conflict continues in the world of Lorwyn as mighty races find common ground - and power - by forming new tribes based on their classes. Wizards, Warriors, Shamans, Soldiers, and Rogues give a boost to their "classmates" from Lorwyn and bring a new tool for battle: Tribal Equipment. Whether you're a fan of Elves, Giants, Goblins or Merfolk, Morningtide will bring your tribe a whole new set of possibilities. Morningtide expands on the themes introduced in Lorwyn and unveils three brand-new mechanics: Kinship, Reinforce, and Prowl.

Inside you'll find two ready-to-play decks developed specifically for bashing againast each other. The decks feature Elves and Goblins-the most popular tribes in the game. They're ready to go right out of the box, so choose your favorite and start playing!

Far from the strife of Dominaria lies Lorwyn, an idyllic world where races of fable thrive in perpetual midsummer. Lorwyn is covered with dense forests, meandering rivers, and gently rolling meadows. The sun never quite dips below the horizon, and winter is entirely unknown.
In Lorwyn, creature type matters more than ever before. Mischievous Boggarts, ruthless Elves, and valiant Kithkin...which tribe will you choose?

The Magic: The Gathering core set presents Magic in its truest form. This painstakingly crafted compilation acts as a "greatest hits" collection, a foundation to start building your own collection, a reliable place to find some of the most powerful tournament-defining cards, and a practical guide to the fundamentals of the game.

Featuring cards selected by magicthegathering.com readers, the Core Set - Ninth Edition features possibly the best assortment of cards ever to appear in a Magic base set. And the rumors are true: Hypnotic Specter and Kird Ape are back!

We tapped into the decks of world beating Magic: the Gathering players and created world-class decks -- the World Championship Decks. Culled from the best at the Worlds tournament around the world, these decks are a great way to improve your game and have fun doing so.

The Core Set - Eighth Edition marks the 10th Anniversary of Magic and to celebrate the event, this set was created with a very special concept in mind: it contains at least one new card never before printed in a Core Set from every Magic expansion ever produced by Wizards* (34 sets in all!).

With the Magic: The Gathering - Seventh Edition set, old favorites like Serra Angel, Shivan Dragon, and Mahamoti Djinn return - with a vengeance.
Seventh Edition contains previously released game mechanics from Alpha through Mercadian Masques and features the Magic Core Rules established with Classic Sixth Edition.

For the starter-level Magic player ready to make the leap to advanced Magic play, the Classic two-player game is the logical next step. Magic players new to advanced play will enjoy access to cards from earlier expansions and exposure to a richer play environment, while expert players will find Classic a cost-effective way to play in sealed-deck tournaments.

Released in April 1995, Fourth Edition was a new version of the Magic: The Gathering basic set. In a continuing attempt to balance and add new flavor to the game, fifty-one cards were removed from the Revised Edition and 122 cards from previous expansions were added, bringing the total cards to 378.

Three more planeswalkers are dead or lost. How many more will allow themselves to be led to the slaughter? It's not easy to convince godlike beings to risk their lives on the word of a man known for his lies. But the fate of the multiverse depends on it. For once in his life, Teferi can't run away. It's Time to Make a Stand.

Dominaria's temporal fabric is no longer fraying at the edges-it's ripping down the middle. The time-rifts have not only merged the past with the present, but also splintered the timeline into thousands of alternate histories. These divergent Dominarias overlap with the known world in bizarre ways, combining the familiar with the shockingly new.

Time Spiral features 301 cards, plus 121 special "timeshifted" reprint cards from Magic's past, with randomly-inserted premium cards. All cards, including the timeshifted cards, are tournament legal. The set includes 121 commons, 80 uncommons, and 80 rares, plus the 121 timeshifted cards with their own rarity. It will be available in booster packs, theme decks, tournament packs, and Fat Packs.

A tournament-legal expansion designed to complete the Ice Age block, Coldsnap returns players to the lands and characters of Kjeld, Krov, the Fyndhorn Forest, Soldev, Koilos, and more.

In this final expansion set in the city-plane of Ravnica, players will be introduced to the final three guilds of the block: the Azorius Senate (blue-white), the Cult of Rakdos (black-red), and the Simic Combine (green-blue), as well as the secret of the district of Agyrem, the Ghost Quarter.

SPECIAL!!! - Dissension Theme Decks on Sale for only $4.95 to $6.95 each.

The Guildpact has kept Ravnica stable for thousands of years. But with ten guilds vying to become the dominant force on the planet, there's always a chance that things will break down. Guildpact continues the story of this massive city, and introduces players to three more guilds: the Orzhov (black-white), the Izzet (blue-red), and the Gruul (red-green).

Nothing ever changes in Ravnica. For countless millennia, cities have covered the entire plane. Eventually, they ran together into one vast megalopolis -- a patchwork of grand halls, decrepit slums, ancient ruins, and layer upon layer of stonework structures. Of the world's countless civic centers, one looms above all others: the City of Ravnica, a metropolis so vast that its name has become synonymous with the world itself. It is here -- amid mazes of streets and towering gothic spires -- that the guilds vie for power and control.

It's got a keyword mechanic (named Gotcha if you have to know). It's got cool new basic lands. It has a whole bunch of donkeys and monkeys. It even has a set of parallel premium cards (what the world often calls "foils). It's good stuff. It just doesn't make any sense. None. Don't even try. I mean, don't try finding a story. Definitely try buying some packs.

The end of the Kami War is at hand, and the barrier between the material and spirit worlds is eroding. As Saviors of Kamigawa wraps up the Kamigawa storyline, the war once more comes down to legendary warriors and mages on each side.
Saviors of Kamigawa introduces 3 new mechanics: Channel, Sweep, and Epic.

Kamigawa is still a world of Kami, Orochi, and Nezumi, a place where the spiritual and "real" worlds intermingle, but the Kami War has changed things. The schism between the kakuriyo and utsushiyo has effects no one can guess. The mighty patron kami are no longer so easily appeased. And Konda's mighty samurai have been devastated by an unexpected attack.
New mechanics introduced in Betrayers include Ninjutsu and Offering.

Long before Mirrodin existed, on the other side of the multiverse, there was Kamigawa -- a plane in the midst of a terrible war. Spirits are launching attacks against humans as, in the shadows, a terror lurks just beyond sight.
The war with the Spirit World has begun.
New mechanics introduced in Champions of Kamigawa include: Bushido, Soulshift, and Splice.

The Fifth Dawn set takes Mirrodin block out with a bang. Bigger creatures, better effects, faster equipment, and more reasons to play all five colors. Throw in cards that combine in ways guaranteed to wreck your opponent and you get a set you have to play to believe.
Artifacts let you play with any colour of mana -- so why not play all five!
Fifth Dawn introduces two new abilities to the Mirrodin block: Sunburst, and Scry.

Explore the new Darksteel set, where artifacts forged from the mysterious darksteel metal are indestructible and modular creatures make your opponent pay dearly if they're destroyed..
The Darksteel set is everything you loved about Mirrodin and more: more equipment, more artifacts, more abilities, and even more cards. You'll find artifacts that are indestructible--which means just what it says: destruction effects don't send them to the graveyard. And if its an indestructible creature, damage won't do the job, either.
New mechanics introduced in Darksteel include: Indestructible, and Modular.

Far from Dominaria, in a distant corner of the Multiverse, lies Mirrodin, a plane made entirely of metal.
Mirrodin offers you an artifact rich environment never seen before in the game of Magic. With 306 black bordered cards featuring the new card design, the set challenges you to arm yourself with the first new card type since Legends - equipment cards. Unlike enchantments, when an equipment card is attached to a creature, it can "fall" back into play even if the creature is destroyed and then be re-equipped onto another creature.
New mechanics introduced in Mirrodin include: Equipment, Imprint, Affinity, and Entwine.

The Scourge set brings 143 new cards featuring such new mechanics as Storm (more power for the more spells you play on a turn) and Landcycling. Add the Warchiefs, a few creatures that Morph for free, and you've got yourself some deckbuilding to do.
New mechanics introduced in Scourge include: Storm, and Landcycling.

Every creature and every beast that has been twisted and enhanced by the power of the Mirari is in the set because Legions is 100% creatures.
Legions introduces two new mechanics to the Onslaught block and expands on Morph by adding new triggers for the ability.
New mechanics introduced in Legions include: Provoke, and Amplify.

As you dig deep into the nature of Onslaught, you'll begin to comprehend how much "Creature Type" will name the battles to come. Throughout the land, Clerics, Soldiers, Birds, Wizards, Zombies, Goblins, Beasts, Elves, and Illusions begin to define the world of Magic like never before.
And the new Morph mechanic allows you to keep a poker face as your opponents lose their heads. That's because you play Morph cards face down. So they won't know what's lurking underneath, except that it's going to be one nasty shock.
New mechanics introduced in Onslaught include: Morph, and Tribal Cards.

In Judgment, The powerful forces of white and green ascend to counter the black dominance of the Torment expansion.
Judgment brings five powerful Wish cards that allow you to get any card you own and put it into your hand. A dream strategy. Combined with deadly Phantoms, Judgment sets right the color imbalance created by Torment.
New mechanics introduced in Judgement include: Wishes, Incarnations, and Phantoms.

They twist and torture reality into the dark shape of horror. This is the dark, blackened reality of Torment.
The cards in Torment center around the environment of the Cabal's Dementia Summoners, and specifically Chainer with his deadly nightmare horrors.
New mechanics introduced in Torment include: Madness, and Nightmares.

Take a 100-year leap forward to a harsh Dominaria where deadly pit fighting is the new order of things.
Odyssey not only focuses on two new mechanics designed to harness the power of your graveyard: Flashback and Threshold, but it also marks the beginning of a new trilogy, with new races and locales.
New mechanics introduced in Odyssey include: Flashback, and Threshold.

Enemy colors band together like never before. Volvers evolve into huge monstrosities if you pay one or both of their enemy-color kicker costs while Sanctuaries give you a benefit each upkeep if you control a permanent of one or both enemy colors.
Even creatures show signs of the Apocalypse as new magical abilities threaten to unleash multi-colored mayhem.
New mechanics introduced in Apocalypse include: Envoys, Disciples, Volvers, and Sanctuaries.

Once you experience the Planeshift, there's no turning back. And the Phyrexians are taking no prisoners. Will you survive?
Gating allows you to play the biggest, baddest creatures, without the heavy cost. And Familiars give spell cost-reduction a new spin.
New mechanics introduced in Planeshift include: Gating, and Familiars.

The Phyrexians are invading Dominaria. The strong will fall. The swift will perish. The rich will burn. Because there is only one way to fight the Phyrexians - together.
The Invasion expansion realizes the potential of multicolor power. Start thinking about gold cards, Legends, and Dragons.
New mechanics introduced in Invasion include: Kickers, Split Cards, and Domains.

Harness the Winds. Voluminous spell effects guaranteed to shock and dismay. And summon the Avatars, big creatures that fight on behalf of their respective color.
Rounding out the list are Rhystic Spells. You get what you pay for and more - unless your opponent pays to stop you.
New mechanics introduced in Prophecy include: Avatars, and Rystic Spells.

Check out the Laccoliths, a new creature type that hacks apart the weak links in your opponent's defense. Blocking them is only the start of your opponent's troubles.
And then there are fading cards, a fine assortment of card types that give you the edge - ahead of schedule.
New mechanics introduced in Nemesis include: Fading, and Seals.

Mercadian Masques brings you Mercenary and Rebel cards that will redefine the horde; get one on the table, then root through your deck for others every turn.
Tired of that four-card limit? With the new Spellshapers you can turn any card in your hand into a timely spell like Unsummon or Stone Rain. It's like topdecking the card you need, any time.
New mechanics introduced in Mercadian Masques include: Rebels, Mercenaries, and Spellshapers.

The trilogy that began with the Urza's Saga and Urza's Legacy card sets is coming to a long-awaited conclusing with the Urza's Destiny release.
In Urza's Destiny, the ancient planeswalker seeks to complete his epic struggle across Dominaria and silence the Phyrexian campaign of terror ... forever.

There is no calm before the storm. There is only Tempest. Released in October of 1997, Tempest was the twelfth Magic expansion. Containing 350 cards, Tempest marked the start of the Rath Cycle block of expansions for DCI Standard Tournament play. Tempest also continued the Rath Cycle storyline that was started in Weatherlight.

Released in June of 1997, Weatherlight was the eleventh Magic expansion, and is considered an expansion for Mirage. Containing 167 cards, Weatherlight also set the stage for the Rath Cycle storyline.

The eighth Magic expansion, Alliances, continued several themes introduced in its predecessor, Ice Age. With "cantrips," cumulative upkeep, and "pitch" cards, this popular 199-card expansion is widely considered the measuring stick for new releases.

Released in June 1995, Ice Age was the most anticipated set of the era. The first true stand-alone expansion (383 cards), this set is compatible with the basic game, but also contains enough basic land and basic spells to be playable without additional cards.

Released in July 1995, this 125-card set was created in an effort to satisfy players' demand for out-of-print cards. Over half of the cards were from Legends, but the set also included cards from Arabian Nights, Antiquities, and The Dark.

Fallen Empires, the fifth Magic expansion, was released in November 1994 and took creature generation to a new level. The 187-card set met with mixed reviews from players, and controversy over the set's effectiveness still rages on.

The fourth Magic expansion, The Dark, focuses on taking magic to its extreme, and the toll such power takes on both opponent and controller. Many cards have tempting abilities, coupled with damaging penalties. This 119-card set was released in August 1994.
