Scotch - Irish ( or Scots - Irish ) Americans are American descendants of Presbyterian and other Ulster Protestant Dissenters from various parts of Ireland , but usually from the province of Ulster , who migrated to North America during the 18th and 19th centuries . While an estimated 36 million Americans ( 12 % of the total population ) reported Irish ancestry in 2006 , and 6 million ( 2 % of the population ) reported Scottish ancestry , an additional 5.4 million ( 1.8 % of the population ) identified more specifically with Scotch - Irish ancestry . The term Scotch - Irish is used primarily in the United States , with people in Great Britain or Ireland who are of a similar ancestry identifying as Ulster Scots people . Most of these emigres from Ireland had been recent settlers , or the descendants of settlers , from the Kingdom of England or the Kingdom of Scotland who had gone to Ireland to seek economic opportunities and freedom from the control of the episcopal Church of England and the Scottish Episcopal Church . These included 200,000 Scottish Presbyterians who settled in Ireland between 1608 - 1697 . Many English - born settlers of this period were also Presbyterians , although the denomination is today most strongly identified with Scotland . When King Charles I attempted to force these Presbyterians into the Church of England in the 1630s , many chose to re-emigrate to North America where religious liberty was greater . Later attempts to force the Church of England 's control over dissident Protestants in Ireland were to lead to further waves of emigration to the trans - Atlantic colonies .

October 5 , 2018The trading card game Magic : The Gathering has released a large number of sets since it was first published by Wizards of the Coast . After the 1993 release of Limited Edition , also known as Alpha and Beta , roughly 3 - 4 major sets have been released per year , in addition to various spin - off products . Magic has made three types of sets since Alpha and Beta : base / core sets , expansion sets , and compilation sets . Expansion sets are the most numerous and prevalent type of expansion ; they primarily consist of new cards , with few or no reprints , and either explore a new setting , or advance the plot in an existing setting . Dominaria is the most recent expansion set as of April , 2018 . Base sets , later renamed core sets , are the successors to the original Limited Edition and are meant to provide a baseline Magic experience ; they tended to consist either largely or entirely of reprints . Compilation sets also exist entirely of reprints , and tend to be made as either a special themed product , or as a way to increase supply of cards with small printings . Examples of compilation sets with randomized boosters include Chronicles and Modern Masters . There also exist compilation products with a pre-selected and fixed card pool , such as the Duel Decks and From The Vault series . Theme decks serve a similar function ; however , they are always attached to a specific set or block , while compilations are free to pick and choose cards from any set .
