With them is the Kaldra avatar—an immensely powerful being of energy summoned when Kaldra's sword, shield, and helm were brought together. But what was supposed to be the world's salvation turns out to be a vile trick. With a single spell, Memnarch seizes the avatar and turns it on Glissa and her companions. Kaldra's avatar relentlessly pursues Glissa into the Tangle, destroying everything in its way. Finally, at the Radix, Glissa's destiny becomes clear. As rage and despair overcome her, Glissa's body calls forth a great column of green mana from Mirrodin's core, annihilating the avatar in the process. Now that mana hangs overhead in a glowing sphere—the green sun at last, Mirrodin's fifth dawn. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Set_history">Set history</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mirrodin&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Set history"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mirrodin">Mirrodin</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mirrodin&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Mirrodin"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>Mirrodin</i> is notable for being the first expansion set to feature the new card front design (which debuted in <i><a href="/wiki/8th_Edition_(Magic:_The_Gathering)" class="mw-redirect" title="8th Edition (Magic: The Gathering)">8th Edition</a></i>). The high number of artifacts in <i>Mirrodin</i> highlighted the inherent flaw of the new border design — artifact cards, which were now bordered in a very light grey instead of brown, were very hard to distinguish from white cards. The problem prompted <a href="/wiki/Wizards_of_the_Coast" title="Wizards of the Coast">Wizards of the Coast</a> to change the bordering background of artifact cards to a much darker grey in <i><a href="/wiki/Fifth_Dawn" class="mw-redirect" title="Fifth Dawn">Fifth Dawn</a></i>. Also due to complications when switching to the new card frame, mana symbols in the text box of <i>Mirrodin</i> cards are greyed out instead of being in color.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Beginning with <i>Mirrodin</i> Wizards reduced the size of their large expansion sets from 350 to 306 cards. This was due to regular complaints, that Wizards was producing too many cards and players could not keep up. Beginning with <i><a href="/wiki/Darksteel" class="mw-redirect" title="Darksteel">Darksteel</a></i> Wizards also increased the size of small expansion sets from 143 to 165 cards. Thus the number of cards released each year would stay the same, but then <i>Magic</i> developer Randy Buehler explained that Wizards believed this change would make it easier for collectors and players to keep up with the number of new cards as these would be released more homogeneously over the course of the year.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Darksteel_2">Darksteel</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mirrodin&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Darksteel"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>Darksteel</i> was the first "small" expansion to have 165 cards, whereas previous small expansions had 143, (with the exception of <i>Legions</i> which had 145 as a balance among the five colors.) </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Fifth_Dawn_2">Fifth Dawn</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mirrodin&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Fifth Dawn"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The name <i>Fifth Dawn</i> is derived from the plane's five suns. Each sun is associated with a color of mana and the green sun, which has long been absent, returns to the sky as part of this set's storyline. <i>Fifth Dawn</i> adds a new twist to artifact theme of <i>Mirrodin</i> and <i><a href="/wiki/Darksteel" class="mw-redirect" title="Darksteel">Darksteel</a></i>: it encourages using colored mana for playing artifact spells, via the Sunburst mechanic (see below). <i>Fifth Dawn</i> introduced an enhanced design for artifact cards, which uses a darker inner border to help players distinguish artifacts from white cards. <i>Fifth Dawn</i> theme decks contained a few reprints from <i>Mirrodin</i> and <i>Darksteel</i> with the improved card face. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Mechanics">Mechanics</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mirrodin&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Mechanics"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>Mirrodin</i> introduced a number of new mechanics, including Equipment, Affinity, Imprint and Entwine. The artifact subtype Equipment, which has become a staple of <i>Magic</i>, represented weapons, clothing and armor that could be wielded or worn by creatures. Equipment functions like the older "Enchant Creature" cards (now called Auras) in that they provide some effect while attached to the creature. Unlike Auras, however, Equipment can only be attached to creatures you control in most cases, and remain in play even if the creature they were attached to leaves play. Affinity reduces the total cost of the spell by the number of permanents in play of a certain type, which in the case of Mirrodin was always artifacts or basic land types. Entwine was an optional cost on modal instants and sorceries, which allows a player to choose all effects (rather than only one) if the Entwine cost was paid. The Imprint keyword allowed an artifact to gain additional effects if another card is exiled and imprinted on that artifact. Mirrodin also had an infamous cycle of artifact lands. </p><p><i>Darksteel</i> continued the Equipment, Affinity, Imprint and Entwine mechanics, and introduced the indestructible and modular keywords. Something that is or has indestructible can't be destroyed by damage or "destroy effects". In <i>Darksteel</i>, indestructible cards (all of which were artifacts) are made of the titular metal, though other things have been deemed indestructible when it became a common mechanic in later sets (similar to Double Strike, introduced in the <i><a href="/wiki/Onslaught_(Magic:_The_Gathering)" title="Onslaught (Magic: The Gathering)">Onslaught</a>)</i>. Modular was a keyworded ability of artifact creatures, these creatures would come into play with a set number of counters and, upon the destruction of that creature, could transfer them to another artifact creature. Modular was part of a larger theme of charge counters on artifacts throughout the set. </p><p>Fifth Dawn introduced the Sunburst and Scry mechanics. Artifacts with Sunburst get +1/+1 counters (if the card is a creature) or charge counters (if noncreature) for each color of mana used to pay the artifact's mana cost. "Scry X" means "Look at the top X cards of your library. Put any number of them on the bottom of your library and the rest on top in any order." X was always 2 in Fifth Dawn, but other numbers were introduced when Scry was reprised for subsequent sets. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Notable_cards">Notable cards</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Mirrodin&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Notable cards"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>One notable cycle in Mirrodin was the cycle of artifact lands (<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?name=Ancient+Den">Ancient Den</a>, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?name=Seat+of+the+Synod">Seat of the Synod</a>, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?name=Vault+of+Whispers">Vault of Whispers</a>, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?name=Great+Furnace">Great Furnace</a> and <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?name=Tree+of+Tales">Tree of Tales</a>).
