Description | Fallen Empires Complete Set (Magic: the Gathering) *This complete set contains 187 non-foil, black-bordered Magic: the Gathering cards. It is a time after the great devastation that ended the Brothers' War. In a southern continent, called Sapardia, the weather is getting colder. Food sources are dwindling. War between different colored factions is flaring up due to lack of resources. Times are troubling, and no longer can anyone rely on their ancient allies. Survival has become the foremost goal, and people have begun to turn on each other in an effort to live on. The order created by governmental structures in the cities and towns is being threatened by growing bands of religious zealots. Dwarves are defending their mountain homes from whole armies of orcs and goblins. In the forest, the forces of nature feed off of death, growing fungus everywhere. Under the seas, merfolk have come under attack from a previously unheard of race-upright crustacean warriors called Homarids. And in the swamps, an order of dark magic users finds that their experiments into breeding slaves has backfired, and they are being overrun by the little beasts they have created. It is a time of great troubles, and the great cultures of the past are rapidly collapsing in on themselves. *Description provided by the manufacturer |

I'm more of a collector nowadays and had to get this set. I love the old art and card style. And it didn't hurt my wallet near as bad as getting the Arabian Nights set and still working on Unlimited.

Fallen Empires gets a bad rap, but in many ways it's arguably the earliest example of modern set design. It has a story. It has a theme. It has tribes. It's the earliest example of the Otarian Cliche (where the setting is divided into warring factions along the lines of the five colours, Otaria's colour wheel map being the textbook example). It's also much better balanced than its contemporaries, which is a bit of a double edged sword because while the average power level is fairly good, there are no ridiculously broken cards to grab the attention. This is probably why people think it's a bad set, even though it really isn't.
Thanks to the alternate art, this product contains multiples of most cards, including playsets of such favourites as Thalid and Hymn to Tourach.

Just to point out something that people have ignored for years because these cards were so abundant. One of the old magazines that covered CCGs (M:TG in particular) used to rate every card that came out, with 1 dot being worst, and 5 being the best. Being the stubborn (retentive?) person I am, I averaged out all the ratings for each card from each set up through Alliances. Guess which set had the highest overall ranking? This one. While there are no cards to compare to the Power Nine in Fallen Empires, the overal utility of the cards in this set is very much better than sets like Homelands, Arabian Nights, and Alliances. Actually, Alliances was the lowest rated set of them all up to that point. I still think Fallen Empires is one of the most balanced and complete sets from the early days.

Fallen Empires has some of the best artist illustrations hands down. If you are buying this set it is for the flavor, not the playability of the cards, and that's ok.

Has a few good cards (hymn to torach, the pump clerics) but overall the weakest set in magic.
