Portal Second Age is the second starter level set of Magic and was released in June 1998. It consists of 165 cards and only exists in these seven languages: English: Portal Second Age French: Portal Second Age German: Portal Zweites Zeitalter Italian: Portal Seconda Era Japanese: Portal Second Age Portuguese (Demogame booster and Starter Two Player only): Portal Segunda Era Spanish: Portal Segunda Edad Like its predecessor Portal, the Portal Second Age set was made to introduce new players to Magic: The Gathering. The cards were kept simple and many concepts of Magic were left out completely. Due to the low power level of the set and the inability to use the cards in tournaments, Portal Second Age never became popular. Portal Second Age Demogame boosters were given away as a free product to advertise Magic: The Gathering. Aside from the tip card, they contain 24 standard Portal Second Age cards and a tip card. Despite their rebate label, no rebate cards were inserted. For unknown reasons, there are two versions of the German Portal Second Age Demogame booster in existance, one featuring a copyright date of 1998 (WOC21064) and the other one featuring a copyright date of 2000 (WOC21066) on the back of the booster. Only the 1998 version contains a German Portal Second Age tip card, the other one has a Black Border/Black Border filler card in its place. It is not known for the moment if those three Portal Second Age Demogame boosters include an English tip card: English with Greek Rules (it is not known if Turkish rules was included) - WOC ? English with Norwegian/Danish Rules (Regler pä norsk Danske regler vedlagt) - WOC31004 English with Norwegian/Danish/Finnish/Swedish Rules (Regler på norsk Danke regler vedlagt Suomenkieliset säännöt regler på swenska) - NO WOC. Portal Second Age Demo boosters German with 2000 Copyright Date (WOC21066), Portuguese (WOC23080) and Spanish (WOC24079) contain a Black Border/Black Border filler card instead of a tip card. Portuguese Portal Segunda Era and Spanish Portal Segunda Edad Logos Portal Second Age Demogame boosters were also offered in the Guru program.
