In early
October 2001, the seventh stand-alone
expansion set for
Magic: The Gathering, Odyssey, was released. It is a set of 350 cards (110 rares, 110 uncommons, 110 commons, and 20 basic lands), with most of them being new, but a few here and there were reprints. The expansion symbol was a
crystal ball, on a stand. (For those paying attention, the symbol is the
Mirari, which is also a card in the set.) The standard color scheme was used - black for commons, silver for uncommons, and gold for rares. There are, once again, premium
foil cards in the occasional booster, with a foil version of each cards in the set.
Two new game mechanincs are introduced in this set. The first, threshold, allows cards to grow in power and ability when there are at least seven cards in the graveyard. The other, flashback, allows a card to be played from in the graveyard itself - it doesn't get placed into your hand, but played with a higher mana cost, then removed from the game. Cards with flashback have a tombstone symbol in front of the card's name.
The set takes place 100 years after the previous set, Apocalypse, in a harsh Dominaria.
