About

Shards of Alara is a Magic: the Gathering set that delves into the fragmented world of Alara, which has been divided into five distinct shards, each representing a unique combination of three colors of mana. The lore centers around the aftermath of a cataclysmic event known as the Mending, which shattered the plane into these shards, each developing its own culture, creatures, and magic. The mechanics of the set reflect this diversity, introducing the convoke ability that allows players to tap creatures to cast spells, and exalted, which rewards players for attacking with a single creature. Additionally, the set features multicolor cards that embody the rich interplay between the shards, showcasing powerful combinations and strategies that highlight the thematic essence of unity and conflict within the fractured world.
