Ice Age

Printing Information
The Ice Age expansion set was printed with black borders on the face of the cards.

Cards can be identified by the expansion symbol on the right hand side of the middle section. The expansion symbol is a snowflake ().

The 383 card set's breakdown by rarity looks like this:
121 Rares
121 Uncommons
121 Commons
20 Lands

It was released in early June 1995 and went out of print in February 1996, although it did not really dwindle in availability until the end of 1996.

The print run is estimated at 500 million cards.

Each starter deck included a rulebook with the Fourth Edition rules plus some special rules for cards that appeared in the expansion.
