Magic: the Gathering - The Core Sets
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.
(Magic the Gathering Eleventh Edition Release is July 17, 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.
