Magic releases moved to a yearly schedule, based around three-set blocks and a supplemental product (usually a Core set). The largest of the three sets — the one to introduce the themes and mechanics for the block — came out in the fall; the middle set and third set in the winter and spring. Memorable cards include Lion's Eye Diamond, and the three Tutors in White, Blue, and Green.

The Weatherlight Saga stoiy would be featured in every Magic block and set from here until Apocalypse, making it the start of a 13・set extravaganza! Key cards include Null Rod, Lotus Vale and Scorched Ruins.
