The Art Book Revised Edition
Roxine Denison
Wizards of the Coast made multiple attempts to print an improved version of the core set before finally getting Revised out the door.[3] Revised consists of 306 cards - 15 basic lands, 75 commons, 95 uncommons, and 121 rares. Revised was the first core set to "rotate" some cards out, removing several cards due to power level or complexity, and replacing them with other cards from previously printed limited expansions. The expansions available at the time were Arabian Nights and Antiquities.[4]
Previous printings of the Core set had basic lands on every print sheet in an attempt to obfuscate the rarity of each slot in a pack. The Revised update removed basic lands from the rare sheet but kept them on both the uncommon and common sheets. The chance of getting a basic land instead of a non-land card is approximately 21.5% for uncommons and 38.02% for commons.
An early advertisement in The Duelist #1 stated that Revised cards would be gray bordered, but they ultimately remained white bordered like the Unlimited Edition. A production oversight resulted in the "bevel" that framed the cards being cropped off. Also, well-used printing films gave the cards faded colors. Many players complained about the lack of quality of the set, both in terms of card power and the look.
Cards were available from mid-April 1994 through mid-April 1995. The print run is estimated at 150 to 250 million cards.[5] The cards were sold in 60-card starter decks and 15-card boosters. Starter decks included a rulebook with Shivan Dragon on the cover and a checklist on the back and last pages. Revised was the first set that was supplemented with a special gift box. The Revised Gift Box (released on November 15, 1994) included two starter decks, 30 glass counters, a flannel bag for storing the counters, an illustrated rulebook, and a card collectors' checklist.
As the players' knowledge of the game and its potential developed, so did the knowledge of the designers and developers. Their collaboration led to the first Magic: The Gathering Pocket Player's Guide, which solidified the rules of Magic. However, for later editions, the rules would change many times over.
Revised introduced the first tap symbol: A slightly tilted 'T' inside a gray circle. The artifact types Mono and Poly became obsolete, and were removed from cards that had them. Tap symbols were added to mono artifacts where they were previously implied by the type. The set also changed references to mana color in card texts to mana symbols.[6]
Revised has 5 cycles. All are reprinted from Limited Edition except for the "Enemy color hate" card Magnetic Mountain, which was first printed in Arabian Nights. Compared to previous core sets, the Moxes were not reprinted, nor were Word of Command and Ancestral Recall, breaking the artwork-inspired cycle and Boon cycle.
Revised edition has 23 pairs, all of which were reprinted from the previous core sets starting with Alpha. The only Limited Edition pair card no longer present in this set is Timetwister, leaving Wheel of Fortune as a standalone card in this set.
Despite its intended function as a fixed Revised Edition, there were many problems with the printing. On some cards, the colors were too dark. Serendib Efreet had its artwork corrected, but the artist's credit was not. The artist name for Plateau was not corrected. The pentagram was removed from the head of Demonic Tutor, but not from the chest. Hurricane was printed with a blue border and became the most famous and most desired Summer Magic card of all. Because of all these flaws, the entire print run was recalled for destruction which led to the great Revised Edition shortage of 1994. However, according to unconfirmed reports from WotC employees, about 40 booster boxes of "Edgar" survived and were shipped to locations in the U.S. and the UK. Probable locations include Tennessee, Texas, and Ireland.

As members of the public becomes more concious of the food they consume and its content, higher standards are expected in the preparation of such food. The updated seventh edition of Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle explores the impact of cattle's biological, production, and environmental diversities, as well as variations on nutrient utilization and requirements. More enhanced than previous editions, this edition expands on the descriptions of cattle and their nutritional requirements taking management and environmental conditions into consideration. The book clearly communicates the current state of beef cattle nutrient requirements and animal variation by visually presenting related data via computer-generated models.
Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle expounds on the effects of beef cattle body condition on the state of compensatory growth, takes an in-depth look at the variations in cattle type, and documents the important effects of the environment and stress on food intake. This volume also uses new data on the development of a fetus during pregnancy to prescribe nutrient requirements of gestating cattle more precisely. By focusing on factors such as product quality and environmental awareness, Nutrient Requirements of Beef Cattle presents standards and advisements for acceptable nutrients in a complete and conventional manner that promotes a more practical understanding and application.
