1 Chronicles, an expansion-sized set released in 1995 between Ice Age and Homelands, reprinted many previous cards that were becoming difficult to obtain but added no new cards to the game; it is not considered part of the Ice Age block.
2 Unglued, a satirical expansion set, though published by Wizards of the Coast, is not legal in DCI tournament play.
