She led the expedition to free Mangara, whom Kaervek had imprisoned in a Mwonvuli Amber Prison. To illustrate the theme of this iconic set, let's get to know a little about the history of Asmira, Holy Avenger, an example of a strong woman in the MTG universe.Īsmira was a prophetess of Femeref and leader of that nation during the Mirage Wars of Dominaria. The three powerful spellcasters representing their three nations of Femeref, Zhalfir and Suq'Ata - Mangara of Corondor, Jolrael, Empress of Beasts and Kaervek the Merciless - searches for Teferi and of his secrets, triggering the events that would cause

Mirage and Visions were set in Jamuraa after the disappearance of the planeswalker Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir. Its tropical African setting was conceived by Sue Ann Harkey and was unlike anything I had seen in fantasy until then. However, I started collecting and playing for real with the arrival of Mirage. We bought two decks, one from each release, to play between brothers - it was fun, the kids at school liked it and many started in the hobby. I met MTG along with its launch in Brazil during the arrival of Fourth Edition and Ice Age. The Weatherlight Saga begins at the end of the Mirage block events, making it the first major story in Magic the Gathering.Īn important point about Mirage, in addition to game design issues, is its representation.

Mirage brought important changes to the game: it consolidated the Blocks model, sequences of sets released with the same theme in a sequential story.Īlliances, its predecessor, was a direct continuation of Ice Age. Along with them were larger legends, which might or might not have flavor text, being two for each Arc, representing the most powerful heroes or villains of Dominaria. The various Gold Card cycles at the time were called "Įlder Dragons representing three colors.

The Gold Cards" were born, which belonged not just to one, but to several mana colors, thus creating the first multicolored spells. Legends would change the game forever with the idea of differentiating the important characters, and " Legends was revolutionary in terms of design, bringing multicolored cards and the Legends Rule, which at the time also changed the way decks were built. The character gained notoriety, however her presence was frequent in Magic cards over the years, including being the protagonist of the tale We can see many future legends mentioned in theĪsmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar, or Asmor, one of the hidden legends in However, the design of the legendary cards was already in place before their release.
