Edge of the World is a set of stickers created by Donald X. Vaccarino for the 1996 Manafest gaming convention. Single cards were distributed by the organizers at their own discretion as prizes for winning, losing, and participating in the various events held there. The stickers were designed to be attached to the front of regular Magic cards. About 60 copies of each card are supposed to exist.



Although being non-official, the Edge of the World cards were actually approved by Wizards of the Coast but subject to conditions. The stickers could not be sold and could not be distributed in booster packs.



After their convention in October 2000, Manafest changed their name to KublaCon and was joined by GameCon in December 2000, with their first combined convention taking place in May 2001. No further custom Magic stickers were produced. Wizards of the Coast used some card mechanics and flavor text for their own Magic cards.



Donald X. Vaccarino went on to create the 2009 Spiel des Jahres winning board game, Dominion.



At the time of the convention, four known complete sets were in existence (2 to the executive producers of Manafest, 1 to a producer on Manafest and 1 to the creator of the set.) Two have since been sold to collectors, and two remain in the original owner's collections.
