What version is my...

Okay, so I started a LONG time ago with a friend giving me a Magic card.. It was a nightmare, and ever since then, I've *ALWAYS* had that card in my decks, butt...

My question is..what version is it? I know it's older than the sixth version because it doesn't have the numerals in the corner like most of the cards do. Unfortunately, the image matches *EVERY* image before.. the only difference is the border.

I know it's either the Unlimited, Revised, Fourth or Fifth edition as mine has the white border around it. Problem is, I can't tell other than that. I've no intentions of selling the poor thing - but I was curious about the edition simply because I think it'd be cool to know WHEN it was exactly. Unfortunately through the years it's taken some wear and tear, first from my friend then from being in all of my decks since... So it's hard to tell (for me) what version it would be. The image is also slightly faded(though it may just be how it was printed) so it's hard to go by the 'vibrancy' that the card images do in the Card information search.

Anyone have suggestions how I could figure it out? Please and thank you! ^_^

owk so;

White border discludes any real money makers ^^...so here it is;

Unlimited; no date and in most cases no mana symbols in the card texts, has a beveled edge around the card where revised doesn't (right side shows a highlight)
Revised; no date, the colors are waaaaayyy deeper and brighter than unlimited cards and no bevel in the edge
4th; dated 1995
Two player introduction set; dated 1996
5th; dated 1997

Next time check magiccards.info you'll see the different sets a card is in on the right and you'll directly see what art or text changes the cards have!

good luck
