The Rath Cycle (also known as the Tempest block) is a cycle of three Magic: The Gathering expansions that continues the events of the Weatherlight Saga.[2] Whereas there had previously been no official term for a trilogy (or tetralogy) of thematically or story-linked expansions, starter decks and booster packs from all three of these sets had the phrase "The Rath cycle" printed on them, firmly establishing "cycle" as the official word of choice and "The Rath Cycle" as the name of this particular cycle. It consists of Tempest (October 1997), Stronghold (March 1998) and Exodus (June 1998) as the 20th, 21st and 22nd expansion sets, respectively.[3][4][5][6][7]
