Fifth Dawn

Fifth Dawn

Fifth Dawn is the third set in the Mirrodin block. It is the 32nd Magic: The Gathering expansion and was released on June 4, 2004. The prerelease was May 22–23, 2004.

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.
