Background Story
Base sets in Magic: The Gathering have no coherent background story and Unlimited is not an exception to this. The flavor text on cards in Unlimited is usually meant to evoke a generic fantasy feeling, but several cards also include quotations from books and poems of Edgar Allan Poe, Samuel Coleridge, and Marianne Moore.

Famous quotes containing the words background and/or story:
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“If we are on the outside, we assume a conspiracy is the perfect working of a scheme. Silent nameless men with unadorned hearts. A conspiracy is everything that ordinary life is not. It’s the inside game, cold, sure, undistracted, forever closed off to us. We are the flawed ones, the innocents, trying to make some rough sense of the daily jostle. Conspirators have a logic and a daring beyond our reach. All conspiracies are the same taut story of men who find coherence in some criminal act.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
