Shards of Alara

Shards of Alara is the forty-seventh Magic expansion and was released October 2008 as the first set in the Alara block. The prerelease events for this set were held on September 27–28, 2008. Release events were held on October 3, 2008, the same day the set went on sale.

Shards of Alara was the first set to introduce the "mythic rare" rarity, and also reintroduced planeswalker cards, including the first multicolored planeswalkers. The set's expansion symbol represents the five different "shards" or worlds that comprise the plane of Alara: Bant, Esper, Grixis, Jund, and Naya. It also introduced several new gameplay mechanics, including "exalted," "devour," and "unearth," which would influence deck-building for years to come.
