The number nine superimposed over three fanned cardsД«eginning 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. The number eight superimposed over three fanned cards Wizards of the Coast also assigns an internal development codename and a three-character expansion code to each set.ДЄlpha 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 database of Magic cards. Beginning with the Shards of Alara set, a red expansion symbol denotes a new rarity: 'Mythic Rare'. 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 ). 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.ДЄll 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.

Like the base set, stand-alone expansion sets contain basic land cards other expansion sets do not. 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 reprints.Д®xpansion sets beginning with Ice Age have come in sets of 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 two small expansion sets of less than 200 cards, which continue the themes introduced in the large set. They have ranged in size from 249 cards ( Magic 2010) to 449 cards ( Fifth Edition). Beginning with Magic 2010, the core sets will consist of half reprints and half new cards. After the first set, Alpha, all the base sets up until Tenth Edition consisted entirely of cards that had been printed before. Wizards of the Coast releases Magic cards in base/core sets and in expansion sets. These are tables of card sets for Magic: The Gathering, a trading card game published by Wizards of the Coast.
