Ice Age is the first set in the Ice Age block. It is the 6th Magic expansion and was released in early June, 1995.early June, 1995.
The Ice Age storyline, like the earlier sets that took place on Dominaria, occurred on the continent of Terisiare, where the Brothers' War had taken place. That war ended with the Sylex Blast, which was powerful enough to alter the planet's climate, the slow creep of glaciers, the mighty gales of blizzards and the numbing cold of lumpy winters have all combined to make Dominaria a dark and frigid world [9]. All the major civilizations of Terisiare had been destroyed by either the war or the ice. New cultures arose on the ice, fighting bitterly for survival, but when the necromancer Lim-Dûl unleashed a horde of undead, old enemies were forced to work together or be overwhelmed.
The setting was based largely off of Norse style mythology and culture. Names were largely Scandinavian in character, and occasional runes [10] and Norse-style clothing and armor can be seen in the art.
