Tenth Edition is also known as "Core Set".
The Tenth Edition was released in order to rotate the contents of the
basic set.
The cards have black borders (which has not been done for a core
set since the Limited Edition), have a
X expansion symbol and
"copyright 1993-2007" is on the base of the cards. The expansion symbol is
black for common cards ()
silver for uncommon cards ()
and gold for rare cards ().
The 401 card (383 playable) set's breakdown by rarity looks like this:
Normal | Foil |
121 Rares | 121 Rare Foils |
121 Uncommons | 121 Uncommon Foils |
121 Commons | 121 Common Foils |
20 Lands | 20 Land Foils |
12 Tips & Tricks | - |
6 Token Cards | - |
There are 6 Token cards and 12 Tips & Tricks cards. One of these 18 is in each
booster pack, making them slightly easier to get than an Uncommon.
This set contains foil premium cards. These cards are
identical to the normal cards in name, text, etc. They are just printed
with a metalic foil finish. Every card in this set has a foil version.
Foil versions of cards appear in a common card slot regardless of the rarity
of the foil card. So you can get both a normal rare and a foil rare in one
pack. Common foils appear in about one in 12 boosters. Uncommon foils
appear in about one in 18 boosters. Rare foils appear in about one in
36 boosters.
Cards were first available on July 13, 2007.
The print run is unknown.
