Sixth Edition Already?!? Not Quite...

There are few players who have played Magic who haven't felt that they could do a better job at creating the basic set than Wizards of the Coast. I'm one of them. While this isn't exactly (or even close to) the best version of 6th edition that could be, it's a poor man's attempt at creating one. So, here's a pseudo glimpse at what 6th edition might contain. When creating this list, I decided to ignore the older cards simply because of the lack of effort I wanted to make. Using newer cards was a better (if less accurate) choice to go with. I used the newest group of cards, from Alliances through Weatherlight when compiling. I could have used Stronghold and Tempest, but I decided that it would be easier to choose from one stand alone than two, plus I wouldn't doubt that a lot of Stronghold and Tempest will be readily accessible (or at least just fading away) when 6th comes out (and I figure that this might be as early as next May/June) and so wouldn't be included anyway. Following this intro is a list of each color/type and what was in 5th edition. I cut several cards to make the set trimmer, so it's a lot smaller than 5th ed. It also shows what I cut (cut means removed completely), and my witty (well, I think they're witty) "chaff," etc., cards are the ones removed, and then replaced later, in this format: "Removed card - Replaced with"

The actual set is at the bottom of the page for those who want to skip everything. Cards cut and cards replaced were all chosen at my discretion, often with no set pattern in mind other than I thought the card was moderately interesting or more useful than any card currently in the basic set. As such, things like play balance get thrown out the window.
