One card-printing error of note appeared on the card Serendib Efreet. Basic lands would get their own full print sheets in 4th Edition, making Revised the last tournament-legal set until 8th Edition in which basic lands could be found in booster packs. This was intentional the land cards were printed on the common and uncommon print sheets. The collation of the cards made it possible for a basic land card to appear in the common and uncommon slots of a pack. The large print run meant that Revised basic lands were so numerous and common that it was uncommon to find any other lands in decks until several years later. The beveling was returned in 4th Edition, and the colors were much more vibrant in that set. This made the set seem by some to be unprofessional and "washed out".
However, the cards were far paler than their Unlimited counterparts, and the three-dimensional beveling of the cards was cropped out. The cards of Revised all had white borders and no expansion symbol. The cards of Revised were still widely available even well into 1996. It is estimated that about 500 million cards of the set were produced, which fully eliminated the distribution problems of earlier sets. Printing of Revised began in early April 1994 and continued until April 1995, when 4th Edition was announced. Most notably, Icy Manipulator would be reprinted in Ice Age, and a few others would be reprinted in 8th Edition to celebrate the game's 10th anniversary. A few of the cards that were removed from the base set reappeared in later sets. Thirty-five cards that were in Unlimited were not in Revised, including the Power Nine. Twenty Revised cards were originally in the Arabian Nights expansion, and another nineteen were originally in the Antiquities expansion. It was the first base set to contain cards from black-bordered sets other than Alpha and Beta. The set was released in April, 1994 and contained 302 cards, like Limited and Unlimited before it. Like previous core sets, it had no expansion symbol, and had just the artist credit at the bottom left. It has also been known as Third Edition with Limited Edition being the first edition, and Unlimited being the second. The Revised Edition of Magic: The Gathering (also simply known as Revised) was the fifth set released for the game (the first four being Limited, Unlimited, Arabian Nights, and Antiquites) and the third base set.
