Reprint
A reprint is a card in a set that has previously appeared in another set. Reprint sets are sets which contain only reprints.
The Ice Age expansion was the first expansion to contain reprints and it has the most reprints (30) of any expansion set. Before its release it was thought that players would not like to see cards already in print, but after its success many large expansions incorporated reprints of "staple" cards, such as Disenchant, Counterspell, Dark Ritual, Stone Rain, and Regeneration.
As of 2017 Giant Growth has been reprinted the most times.[1]
