Anthologies Box Set Cards

Index | 1998


The Anthologies box set was published on November 9, 1998.
It was meant to commemorate the fifth anniversary of Magic and featured two decks filled with specially reprinted cards from every edition and expansion made from Alpha to Urza Saga.
Some of the cards have unique text, for others, the text or flavor text is positioned in a different way, finally, some cards are missing flavor text or have different flavor text than the original edition or expansion.


ERRORS, MISPRINTS AND TYPOS:

9 Cards are Misprints:
* Armored Pegasus: Wrong casting cost 2WW instead of 1W.
* Carnivorous Plant: Expansion symbol is Legends instead of The Dark.
* Goblin Hero: Expansion symbol is The Dark instead of Fifth Edition. Flavor text is from 5th Edition. Either the art should have been the original Mark Tedin version, or the expansion symbol should have been removed.
