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. * Mirri, Cat Warrior: Rarity symbol is silver and should be gold. Toughness is 2 and must have been changed to 3. Different reminder text. * Mogg Raider: Wrong casting cost it's RR and must have been R. * Pyrokinesis: Missing flavor text. * Raging Goblin: Exodus illustration but uses the Portal booster version's flavor text. * Samite Healer: Wrong Casting cost 2W instead of 1W. * Warrior's Honor: Casting cost is 1W instead of 2W.
