Apocalypse Magic The Gathering Cards
Apocalypse is the name of a Magic: The Gathering expansion set,
released in June 2001. It is the third set of the Invasion Block
The Invasion Block prominently featured
multicolored cards (cards with more than one of the five colors), which
had not been frequent in Magic since Visions. Unlike Invasion and
Planeshift, Apocalypse focused on cards with "enemy" color pairings
(colors opposite one another on the color wheel) as opposed to
"friendly" color pairings (adjacent colors).
Apocalypse reprised many cycles found in Invasion, including
enemy-colored "Bears" and "split cards." Apocalypse's single most
important cycle of cards were the enemy-colored "painlands," which
promoted the set's theme, power level, and popularity.
