Fifth Dawn contains 165 black-bordered cards (55 rare, 55 uncommon, and 55 commons). Like its predecessors Mirrodin and Darksteel, the set has a high artifact count (65). However, the set also has a distinct five-color matters theme. The set introduced a darker frame on artifact cards to help distinguish from white cards, a problem that had occurred since the introduction of the Eighth Edition card frame. Fifth Dawn's expansion symbol is a small image of the Helm of Kaldra, one of the three Kaldra artifacts.
Themes and mechanics
Fifth Dawn had a "Machine Feel", with "Cogs", "Engines", "Batteries", "Spouts", and "Stations". "Cogs" are 0 and 1-cost artifacts with small effects (e.g. Ornithopter, Razorgrass Screen). "Engines" turn one resource into another (e.g. Blasting Station, Clock of Omens); "Batteries" build up resources over time (e.g. Gemstone Array); "Spouts" are artifacts that allow you to turn a resource into some effect that will either win you the game or help you control the board (e.g. Avarice Totem, Goblin Cannon). "Stations" formed the "Great Machine" which together can produce infinite creatures, deal infinite damage, and mill infinite cards — Blasting Station, Grinding Station, Salvaging Station, and Summoning Station. The artwork of the stations forms a mural.
The set sported several cards that were perfectly suited for the casual prismatic format (five-color matters). Some cards got a bonus for different colored mana spent on them, other cards that were specifically to be cast for WUBRG mana.
Fifth Dawn introduced two new abilities:
- Sunburst — An artifact with sunburst enters the Battlefield with counters on it based on the number of colors of mana you used to pay its cost. The more colors of mana you have in your deck, the better your sunburst cards become. Artifact creatures enter the battlefield with +1/+1 counters while non-creature artifacts gain charge counters instead. Cards with the Sunburst ability all share a visual cue - Mirrodin's five suns somewhere in the art.
- Scry — Some Fifth Dawn instants and sorceries let you look at the top two cards of your library and then decide where you want to put them. You can put both cards on either the top or bottom of your library in any order, or you can put one card on the top and one on the bottom. In Fifth Dawn, the mechanic only lets the caster look at the top two cards. At a later revision in Future Sight, the template of Scry was changed so several cards specified with the ability would be viewed.

What is an MOL set? |
The Magic Online Redemption Program is a feature on Magic Online that allows a player with a complete digital set on Magic Online to have those cards converted to a complete paper copy of the same set. The digital cards are deleted from the player's account and a the player is sent a corresponding full set of physical cards. A redemption set comes sealed in a shrink-wrapped box with a label on it indicating what set is inside and whether it is regular (non-foil) or premium (foil). As a general rule, Magic Online sets became available for redemption roughly one month after they were released. Each set would be available while supplies lasted or until its Cutoff Date, whichever came first. MOL SETS ARE CONSIDERED THE PROOF SETS OF MTG ! |
What is in the box? |
Each MOL set includes one (1) copy of each card in that set, with the box indicating if either a regular set (non-foil) or premium (foil). The packaging is designed for the precise amount of cards included, leaving little room for movement which might scratch the surface, or any way for the edges to receive damage. That's why these are perfect for those looking to open cards in the best condition possible! THESE SETS ARE OF INVESTMENT GRADE QUALITY AND PROVIDE THE BEST |
