Fallen Empires Magic The Gathering Cards
Fallen Empires was the ninth Magic: The Gathering set and the fifth
expert level set, released in November 1994. Out of the set of 187
cards, 102 were functionally unique, with the remainder being variant
illustrations of other cards in the set. It was sold in packs of 8,
each containing seven common cards and one uncommon card. Though the
set contained no rare cards, some uncommons appeared three times on the
uncommon sheet ('U3') and others appeared only once. The latter are
sometimes referred to as rare. The expansion symbol for the set is a
crown, possibly of the contesting ruler of Sarpadia.
Because previous sets were underprinted, more Fallen Empires cards were
printed than any previous set. Additionally, the set is considered by
many fans to be one of the weakest in terms of card power. As a result,
booster packs of Fallen Empires have been available for a long time
after going out of print in 1995, and still cost much less than sets
currently in print. The booster packaging was also semi-transparent and
some card names particularly the uncommon are visible through it.
Fallen Empires introduced a tribal theme that would later be
revisited in Onslaught. Each color had two main creature types, as well
as cards that benefit from controlling creatures of those types.
Another theme introduced was color wars; specifically, each color
making war on itself, with two major tribes for each color. A number of
Fallen Empires cards also made heavy usage of counters.
