INDEPENDENT BY DESIGN

Sets across languages

1,656 locale-scoped set records across 12 catalog locales. These are provider metadata records, not independently audited global completeness or 1656 unique expansions.

English editorial is not a translation of every article. Each set record has a language context; similar names do not imply a one-to-one release mapping. Card art, logos, set symbols, prices and copied card text are excluded.
