Exodus is the twenty-first set & the 1st set to make card rarity visibly apparent. Exodus is also first set to add collectors numbers to the cards themselves. Next to the copyright information are two numbers in the format X/Y, where X is the card collectors number and Y the number of cards in the set. Exodus is also the first set to center artist and copyright information at the bottom, rather than have it aligned on the left side. This change persisted until 8th Edition.

The crew of the Weatherlight has rescued the pieces of the Legacy and Captain Sisay, and now must retreat through Volraths Stronghold and escape to the portal that would lead them off of Rath. However, they must also stave off the combined assault of Volraths Stronghold by the elves of the Skyshroud forest and the human tribes of the Kor, Vec, and Dal, recently reunited by Gerrard of Weatherlight. A disturbing change has happened to Crovax, the noble who accompanied Weatherlight to Rath.
