Spellfire: Booster Pack, Set 10 – Draconomicon (1996)

Overview

July 1996 - Released concurrently with 4th Edition, this booster focused on one theme, and made almost an entirely new booster out of it. We see the first dragon champions that are not monsters, new dragon only spells and unarmed combat cards, and even dragon only items and artifacts. Even if you don't play using dragons, there are many useful cards you could use. Overall, I love this set for the same reasons I loved Artifacts: expantion on a theme. Now, you rarely see a tourney of fun deck without at least 1 dragon. Landmark Cards: Lair of the Shadowdrake (#3); Mount Deismaar (#9); Dragon's Horde (#10); Dragon Raid!
