Alara Reborn

April 30, 2009 - 145 Cards

Alara Reborn is the third set in the Alara block, following Shards of Alara (2008) and Conflux (2009). Its tagline is, "The birth of one world. The death of five."

Alara Reborn is the first set in the history of Magic the Gathering to contain all multicolored cards. It creates new combinations of creatures under the influence of more than one shard, such as coloured artifact creatures from Esper that have the Bant ability Exalted.

Cards using the Hybrid Mechanic in this set lack the usual hybrid card border colors as they include a third color outside of the hybrid colors.It has also brought about the new mechanic called Cascade.

Cascade - When you play this spell, remove cards from the top of your library from the game until you remove a nonland card that costs less. You may play it without paying its mana cost. Put the removed cards on the bottom in a random order.
