What sets are considered in the counting up to the 100th Magic set? Congratulations! What a great accomplishment.
I beiieve every Standard-legal set (or anything pre-Standard that would have been Standard under today’s definition. Counting Alpha and Beta as one set (Limited Edition), and counting all the Core sets and all main sets, can others double check the counting? If Archery is actually #100, that would be exciting.
My count has us at 100 at War of the Spark (82 Standard Expansions plus 18 Core, counting Alpha + Beta as one).
Actually scratch that, the 82 is counting Timeshifted as a different set, so that puts 100 at Core Set 2020. If you were to count Unlimited in with A/B - which seems fair since they’re basically the same - then Archery falls on number 100.
You can’t lump Unlimited in with Alpha/Beta (e.g., Limited Edition) - Unlimited is very specifically “Second Edition” (it’s official WoTC set code is 2ED). Revised is Third Edition, and then it follows clearly from there. So Core 2020 is our big 100th set.

Do the ramifications of Civil War play out in any of your books? I ask because one of the reasons I am critical of certain events is that they have to change the status quo forever. Look at how 9/11 scarred the collective consciousness of the US for more than a decade. I think hundreds of dead children would still be a huge factor a year or two later in the MU (Marvel time being far slower than ours). Don't even get me started on WWHulk. Destroying Manhattan and then joining the Avengers? Hookay
You do understand that this is fantasy, right? It’s fiction.
So there’s enough of a similarity to real life to give everything verisimilitude.
But these books would be pretty boring if they functioned exactly like the real world in the manner you’re talking about.
And you’d be pretty sick of hearing about the events of the same comic book from 2006 at this point.
Fear Itself: The Home Front dealt explicitly with Speedball and the Stamford deaths, and that was 2011.
