Odyssey is set on the continent of Otaria on the devastated plane of Dominaria, approximately a century after the events of the preceding set, Apocalypse of the Invasion block. The set was accompanied by the novel of the same name. The prerelease featured باسلْ ليسك - الحجر واللسان (Stone-Tongue Basilisk printed in Arabic text) as the prerelease card. The booster packs featured artwork from Seton, Krosan Protector, Mirari and Aboshan, Cephalid Emperor. Odyssey was sold in 75-card tournament decks, 15-card boosters, four preconstructed theme decks and a fat pack. For Odyssey, a new story began in a new setting with a new cast of characters. Previously, the graveyard rarely affected gameplay, but Odyssey 's cards forced players to constantly keep track of both graveyards at all times. All the colors interact with the graveyard and use it as a resource, though green and black are the strongest graveyard colors. Alongside Torment and Judgment, the second and third expansions of the Odyssey block, Odyssey was a graveyard-focused ("graveyard matters") expansion. Odyssey's expansion symbol is a representation of the mirari. Odyssey contains 350 black- bordered cards (110 rare, 110 uncommon, 110 common, and 20 basic lands). 1.4 Critical reception and tournament impact.
