Hey Fishbowl friends! My name is Fletcher and welcome to a new series that takes a look through Magic the Gathering history through the frame of a constructed set. Today we are diving into the 1996 release of Mirage to see how this pivotal set led the way for Magic as we know it today.

This is a new series so please leave your feedback in the comments below and also be sure to let me know what your favorite Mirage cards and art are in the comments as well!
