DescriptionThe Dark Complete Set (Magic: the Gathering)
*This complete set contains 119 non-foil, black-bordered Magic: the Gathering cards.
It is the time after the Brothers' War. The destructive power of the Sylex blew debris into the air miles high. The sun is blotted out by huge dust storms, and the air is getting colder by the day. An overzealous church comes to power in the aftermath and starts a backlash against magic and magic users. The woes of the world, the church claims, can be blamed on those who channel the power of mana, and wizards become hunted like wild animals. Only those with enough power and the smarts to go underground with their studies continue to practice the outlawed arcane arts. Two secret schools of magic were fabled to exist. On the east, the City Of Shadows. On the west, the Conclave of Mages. No ordinary people can find these locations, and some claim they were simply stories made up by the superstitious. But the art of magic made it through this dark time, even in the face of the oppressive church. Some of the very powerful live on from that time in Dominaria still, and they can attest to the bravery of the mages who protected the art of magic in the period of The Dark.

With the end of the golden power era of magic came The Dark and it heralded the beginning of the Ice Age. The Dark embodies everything I love about casual Magic gaming, as well as some tournament powerhouse cards to boot. The set just oozes flavour and I've spent many a day contemplating the art, flavourtext and utility of it's cards.

Awesome cards include:
- Amnesia: When Mind Twist got banned in every format, this was the replacement of choice.
- Ball Lightning: We all know about that one ;)
- Blood Moon: Laugh as your opponent's expensive duals get reduced to nothing
- City of Shadows: This plus Preacher was immense fun
- Dust to Dust: Vintage artifact removal and card advantage in one neat package
- Eater of the Dead: The granddaddy of Withered Wretch, a must have vs those multiplayer reanimator decks
- Elves of Deep Shadow: One of the most beautiful artworks in Magic
- Fellwar Stone: Still a great card by modern standards
- Goblin Wizard: The original Aether Vial for Goblin decks. This plus a first turn Lackey is awesome.
- Mana Vortex: This card is so insane and nobody's built a deck around it. Hello Crucible of Worlds meet Mana Vortex.
- Maze of Ith: Originally restricted, but now you can play four of this defensive powerhouse.
- Preacher: Too powerful to even timeshift into Planar chaos, try them with a sac outlet for real fun.
- Skull of Orm: Just too much fun to pass up
- Tividar's Crusade: A staple in Legacy sideboards.
- Tracker: The original Karplusan Yeti and in a colour that needed it more than red. I adored this card.
- Tormod's Crypt: It's power has grown and grown over the years and continues to do so as more power is handed to graveyard recycling cards.

Don't be afraid of the darkness, but of what hides in The Dark
