Topic: MtG: Plains - which edition?

Hi: newby to this site. I am in the process of organizing my MtG card collection, started playing just after Unlimited was released. Question that may have been answered in a previous post. I have a Plains card that would appear to be from the Revised deck release based upon not having a date on the card, nor an expansion symbol. If you look closely at the position of the word "Plains" it is more right justified compared to the window frame (and compared to other Plains card examples that I know are from the Revised edition). I have attached a photo of the front of the card. Detective work needed and appreciated. Thanks! Lain

Sorry, just realized I can't attach a photo without permission.

Re: MtG: Plains - which edition?

Lands are very easy to identify between Revised and Unlimited. Unlimited will have the words "Tap to" written on the card while Revised as a tilted T to represent the action of tapping.

Here is the same card art between Revised and Unlimited
Revised: https://deckbox.org/mtg/Plains?fromqs=t … nting=7357
Unlimited: https://deckbox.org/mtg/Plains?fromqs=t … nting=7354

As far as other cards between the two it can be difficult, but if you look at the boarder of the card you will see a single beveled edge for a Revised card (https://content.abugames.com/img/upload … _Angel.jpg) and a double beveled edge on an Unlimited card (https://content.abugames.com/img/upload … _Angel.jpg). Here is a good guide to use https://abugames.com/edition-guide

I find this chart here very useful whenever I have to determine the set for a card: https://i.imgur.com/VHDtcZc.jpg

Re: MtG: Plains - which edition?

Thank you both for replying to my message. Yes those were helpful links! To follow-up, my question is in regards to the text placement on the card itself. The word "Plains" appears to be more right justified than other REVISED card examples I have seen. Just wondering if others have encountered this? or is a mis-print? Thanks.

Re: MtG: Plains - which edition?

It would be easier to assist if we could see the card. I know attaching it to a forum post isn't working right now, but you can upload it to cloud (Dropbox, etc) or an image host (imgur, etc) and paste a link here.
