Magic: the Gathering - The Core Sets

Magic the Gathering Core or Base Sets presents Magic in its truest form. This painstakingly crafted compilation acts as a "greatest hits" collection of previous sets, a foundation to start building your own collection for beginners, a reliable place to find some of the most powerful tournament-defining cards for experts, and a practical guide to the fundamentals of the game.

The different editions of the base set, which have varied in size from 295 to 449 cards, contain cards which have all been printed before, with the exception of Alpha, which was the game's first set.

Core sets are also released every two years while expansion sets are typically released every 4 months.
As you know 11th Edition is set to come out this year, sometime this summer(June-July-August). While the exact date is still unknown(sometime after June 1) stay tuned here for spoilers and updates regarding MTG's latest core set, 11th edition, It appears the release date for 11th Edition called M10 will be released on July 17th 2009.

11th Edition Rumors and Speculation 



Official news regarding 11th edition was released by wizards of the coast here.

Highlights include:


  • 11th edition will be called M10 (Magic 2010)

  • 249 Cards

  • Planeswalkers will be included - the original 5 from Lorwyn

  • Brand New Cards - never before done in a core set, half the cards will be new

  • New core set released every year instead of every two

  • Mythic Rares

  • Because of the influx of new cards, many cards that have been in every core set so far are leaving. As of Magic 2010, there will be only eight cards that have appeared in every core set, down from sixteen as of Tenth Edition.

  • There has been some speculation as to which set of existing dual lands will be in the next core set, and the answer may surprise: none of them. Sorry, no painlands, fetchlands, and Ravnica duals. The new Duel Lands are said to be awesome and will have no loss of life!

  • Of the fifteen mythic rares in the set, nine are reprints (five are planeswalkers) and six are brand new.


10th Edition 

Wizards of the Coast released its tenth core set for the trading card game Magic the Gathering on July 14, 2007. In celebration of this monumentious event it was announced that July 14th as the first Magic Game Day. Local shops all over the world will held special DCI sanctioned tournaments.

Prizes varied by store but many offered a FOIL Raya Dawnbringer - here's a a picture
