Collection: Urza's Saga

Urza's Saga is the first set in the iconic Urza block, released on October 12, 1998, and marked a pivotal moment in Magic: The Gathering history. Containing 350 cards—110 commons, 110 uncommons, 110 rares, and 20 basic lands—the set is symbolized by a gear, reflecting its deep focus on artifacts and the machinations of the planeswalker Urza. Designed by Mike Elliott with contributions from Richard Garfield and Mark Rosewater, the set was initially envisioned as enchantment-themed, but the creative direction shifted to celebrate Urza, the legendary artificer, resulting in a powerful artifact-driven environment that would come to define an era of competitive play
