About

Antiquities is a seminal set in the Magic: The Gathering universe, released in 1994, that delves into the rich lore of the game's early history, particularly focusing on the conflict between the Thran and the Phyrexians. Set on the plane of Dominaria, it explores themes of ancient artifacts and the remnants of a once-great civilization, showcasing powerful relics that players can harness in their battles. The set introduced mechanics such as Artifact cards, which represent these ancient items and can be utilized by any color of mana, emphasizing their significance in the gameplay. Additionally, Antiquities features the Dredge mechanic, which allows players to return cards from their graveyard to their hand, reflecting the idea of resurrecting lost knowledge and power from the past. This combination of lore and mechanics laid the groundwork for future expansions and deepened the narrative complexity of the Magic universe.
