The Ice Age block is the first block of sets, consisting of the large expansion Ice Age (File:ICE symbol.gif) in June 1995 and two small expansions, Alliances (File:ALL symbol.gif) in late 1995 and Coldsnap (File:CSP symbol.png) in July 2006. The Homelands (File:HML symbol.gif) expansion, released after Ice Age and before Alliances, was originally considered to be a member of the Ice Age block, although it included none of the mechanics or themes of the block.
The Ice-Age block is the only block in Magic's history in which one expansion (Homelands) has been removed and replaced by a newer one (Coldsnap).
The block mechanics include Snow and cantrips.
The block themes include allied color strategy.
Keywords introduced in this block: Cumulative upkeep, Recover, Ripple.
Keywords reused from the past: Rampage.
Each set in this block has two cycles of multicolored cards: One cycle of uncommon two-colored spells and one of rare three-colored spells.
Theme decks
Theme decks were not introduced until the Tempest block. But, because of the later addition of Coldsnap to this block, this block now has theme decks.
