	Ice Age is known for adding a couple of new mechanics but the most famous one is that of Snow Lands: Lands who give both regular [[mana]] and snow mana, which was required for certain spells and abilities. It is also the only full set/block so far that has had major [[Viking]] themes in its art and flavor, which is absolutely perplexing when you consider what the rest of fantasy is like. Also famous for being an all-around terrible set, though not as horrible as the notorious Homelands expansion. Its redeeming qualities are the introduction of the so-called "pain" lands (that offer two types of colored mana but at a cost of 1 hp on top of colorless mana) like Karplusan Forest, which were and still are widely used. And, of course, one of the if not the most bonkers black card ever - Necropotence.

Ice Age had a direct sequel called Alliances, which was just about as bad as Ice Age but a lot of what it did endured longer, such as its set of non-basic lands that do more than just mana.

	Though most often when [[/tg/]] uses it, it's to refer to the [[Magic: The Gathering]] block and first set in it, detailing the Ice Age caused by [[Urza\|this dumbass]] after he unleashed the Golgothian Sylex to ultra-kill his ~~Pyrexian~~-possessed brother, both their armies and "win" the Brothers' War. At the end of the first set the [[Planeswalker]] [[Freyalise]] casted the World Spell to thaw Dominaria, which looked like a good idea but ultimately caused bad shit to happen so people had to form Alliances (the second set) to defend themselves. Finally, [[Fail\|ten YEARS]] after the release of the set (and a [[retcon]] of the spectacularly shitty [[Homelands]] as the third set in the block) they released Coldsnap, which details what exactly happened during the end of the Ice Age.
