Alliances is a black-bordered set that was the first to be printed on sheets of 110 cards. The set's rarity breakdown consists of 55 commons (40@C2, 10@C3, 5@U6), 43 uncommons (40@U2, 3@R6), and 46 rares (46@R2). Each common card and the 5 uncommons cards @U6 feature 2 pieces of art, thus making collectors perceive this as a 199-card set.
