Urza's Saga October 1998 350 Cards
The Urza block was a group of artifact sets like Antiquities because of the association with artifice. The block contained many powerful artifacts.�Urza's Saga has had more cards banned from it than any other in the history of the game.

Storyline: The story of Urza's Saga are essentially prequels to the former Tempest/Stronghold/Exodus sets, explaining the aftermath of the Brothers' War (as in Antiquities).

Whereas other sets have all colors referencing the same story, Urza's Saga had each of the colors showing a different part of the storyline. Green details the conflict on Argoth (which would lead to the Ice Age expansion). Black cards reveal the failed attack on Phyrexia itself. White documents Urza's recuperation in Serra's Realm. Blue explains Urza's founding of the academy on Tolaria and its temporal experiments. Red shows Urza's alliance with Shiv. Shiv, Phyrexia, Tolaria, and Serra's Realm are some of the most iconic settings in Magic.
