Chronicles, released in July 1995, was Magic: The Gathering’s first true reprint set, created to make popular cards from early expansions more accessible to players. It featured reprints from sets like Arabian Nights, Antiquities, Legends, and The Dark, all with a white-bordered frame and updated set symbol. While it helped newer players obtain hard-to-find cards, Chronicles also sparked debate over reprint policies, ultimately influencing the creation of the Reserved List. Despite its controversy, Chronicles remains a landmark release in Magic history for its role in shaping the game’s approach to card availability.
