Origins is not a core set

While Origins was a July release, it broke many of the core set guidelines and is generally not considered a core set. It was specifically not included in the Core Set Constructed format. 2601:405:4180:CF00:78A2:B389:613F:A8AD (talk) 20:29, 31 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is just plain wrong. Despite not adhering to Core Set naming conventions, Magic Origins was designed as and always considered a Core Set. As is common for Core Sets the set doesn't feature a coherent theme, a prominent story arc or a single setting. A fanmade format that didn't even take off like "Core Set Constructed" isn't really a meaningful way to determine whether Origins is a Core Set, although as far as I can tell Core Set Constructed would have included Origins anyway.

Outlaws of Thunder Junction had two bonus sheets

In addition to the first bonus sheet, listed as "Breaking News", OTJ had a second bonus sheet, with its own cards, called "The Big Score". The set symbol is a bank vault door and it contains 30 mythic rare cards (with multiple treatments of each). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.5.205.251 (talk) 04:44, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Aetherdrift card numbers

I added most of the Aetherdrift card numbers in the table, but I left the "other" section for that set empty because I don't know what that includes. If someone else knows, please fill in that cell. Davide (talk) 12:37, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Release date of Beta

The article gives the release date of Beta as October 4. Afaik there never was an official release date and Wizards just started shipping Beta as they got their hands on the new print run after the Alpha printing had (pretty much immediately) run out. The source mentioned (Crystal Keep) isn't always very transparent about how much of their intel is guesswork and doesn't seem to give an exact date anyway.

October 4 is around everywhere out there, but is never sourced to anything reliable. Wizards doesn't give anything sensible either (October 1, but related to Alpha/Beta/Unlimited not specifying which one and it's demonstrably false in relation to Alpha and Unlimited; not matching the hypothetical October 4 either).

I stumbled upon this because October 4 has just been added to the Limited Edition (Magic: The Gathering), but in both cases I'd strongly argue towards dropping the exact date and keeping it at October, which doesn't give a false accuracy and seems precise enough for almost all intents and purposes anyway.
