If you go back in time and flip the release order of Fallen Empires and Ice Age, Fallen Empires would have gotten a somewhat better reception. Ice Age had the cards needed to make Fallen Empires work. On their own, Thallids were marginal at best. Paired with Marton Stromgold, they became far better (he gave every attacking creature +1/+1 for each other attacking creature). Now that pile of Saprolings had to be dealt with before they launched an Alpha Strike. That's where trick 2 for the Thallid Deck came into play. Jesters Cap was brutally effective at land removal (who needs to worry about using Stone Rain or the other typical land destruction cards when you can strip them out of your oppenents library? I used to play Thallid Land Destruction and I held my own against some of the top players in my area even though I only had a Mox Emerald and Library of Alexandria as true power cards. One of the top local players let me proxy in a Black Lotus, Mox Jet and Mox Ruby to see what would happen if I had those cards. He didn't like the results (from his side of the table). With an ideal opening hand I was drawing an playing 3 cards a turn from turn 2 (to pull this off I ALWAYS let my opponent go first). Draw, Library, Draw, Mox, Sol Ring, Howling Mine. From there, I had card/mana advantage and would continue to ramp via Birds of Paradise while beginning the land kill/removal. The only caveat was to NEVER play more than 3 cards a turn until you were ready for the kill (you never wanted to drop below 5 cards in hand at the start of your turn).

History lesson on why all the reprints in Ice Age. I used Wiki for the explanation "Ice Age was the first "stand-alone" expansion; that is, it was the first set that could be played independently of other Magic: The Gatheringproducts. It was the first expansion to reprint all five basic lands. Ice Age is also the first set that was printed for a certain period."

Rudy, they changed the names for cards that are virtually the same as some of the ones in the Core set because WotC was toying with the idea of Ice Age being a stand-alone set, hence why there are some of the iconic reprints, such as Swords to Plowshares, Counterspell, Dark Ritual, Shatter, COP:________, Power Sink, etc...

It was a different era back then. Honestly it’s the reason why we can’t have cards like dark ritual and brainstorm type in standard. Each color had more of a focus. We don’t have any iconic type cards(well not as good). We trade thunderbolt for shock and cancel for counterspell. The power difference in old commons compared to new commons just aren’t the same.

@@chromium3707 Depends on the deck that you build with this box. 4x Counterspells 4x Disenchants plus the Zuran Orb and Icy Manipulator is a basis of a control set. You've got the stuff you need for burn with an old school christmas deck w/Tinder Walls and Fyndhorn Elves. Incinerate, etc. So you've got some part decks there. The Christmas deck needs some higher end stuff, but the basics are there. Dunno. Would be an interesting exercise to build and playtest.
