Shards of Alara

Shards of Alara, released on October 3, 2008, introduces a multiverse split into five "shards," each defined by a unique three-color combination and the absence of two enemy colors. The set focuses on Bant (WUG), Esper (WUB), Grixis (UBR), Jund (BRG), and Naya (RGW), with each shard featuring its own mechanic—Exalted, Artifacts Matter, Unearth, Devour, and Power 5+ Matters, respectively. Notable cards include Elspeth, Knight-Errant, Ajani Vengeant, Master of Etherium, and Realm Razer. With its innovative world-building and strong multicolor identity, Shards of Alara opened a bold new chapter in Magic’s design.
