The Mirrodin block is the ninth block, consisting of the large expansion Mirrodin (Template:Set), and the two small expansions Darksteel (Template:Set) and Fifth Dawn (Template:Set). The block came out in 2003-2004. [1] Because it caused the second Combo Winter, Mark Rosewater considers it a low point in block development. [2]

Each expansion symbol in the Mirrodin Block represents the Kaldra artifacts: Sword of Kaldra, Shield of Kaldra, and Helm of Kaldra (Listed respectively to the symbols above, and also result as a mega cycle of Kaldra Equipment).

The theme of this block is artifacts, and the set introduced the first artifact subtype, Equipment.

Keywords introduced in this block: Affinity, Equip (which goes along with Equipment), Entwine, Imprint, Indestructible, Modular, Sunburst, Scry.
