I first want to say that I have been playing magic since 1993. I got rid of all my cards at one point and no regret it. but enough about that. I am very picky when it comes to what sets to buy. I started out with the Alpha set and then got the Beta set also had the unltd set also. Afer geting rid of those cards i later started to collect the 4th edition set also got Ice Age and purchased alot ofthe expansion packs for different expansion sets. learning aobut magic more indepth and realized what i had lost when getting rid of the previous sets. I got compleatlly out of magic when i had all my ice age sets stolen along with the other expansion sets. I got backinto magic again around the time of onslought and one of the coresets at the same time. i have the compleate 7th edition set and now have the compleate 9th set and the changes that have happened from 7th to 9th are great. I love the color change for Artifacts. The new artwork is out of this world. Hands down this is the best core set since revised. Great work Wizard's of the Coast. Looking forward for the 10th edition now.
