Tenth Edition Magic The Gathering Cards
Tenth Edition (10th Edition) is the latest "Core Set" for the
collectible trading card game Magic: The Gathering. It was released on
July 13, 2007, replacing Ninth Edition as the core set of cards for
standard tournament play. The symbol for Tenth Edition is the Roman
numeral "X." As part of their "Selecting Tenth Edition" promotion,
Wizards of the Coast gave fans the chance to manage a part of the set's
brand.The results gave the Roman numeral "X" over the number "10,"
along with many other card, art, and flavor text choices.
For the first time since Beta, the cards of Tenth Edition are
printed with a black border, rather than the white border used for the
previous eight core sets. Tenth Edition is also the first core set to
include legendary creatures (two of each color), bringing back
flavorful relics of Magic's past such as Squee, Goblin Nabob, and
Kamahl, Pit Fighter.
As with Eighth and Ninth Edition, part of the development process
for Tenth Edition included allowing fans to select certain cards for
inclusion in the set.[1] This process began in mid-June 2006 and
continued for 10 weeks.
Tenth Edition starter packs include land cards from Magic's next set, Lorwyn.
Foil cards in Tenth Edition do not have reminder text. Many use the
extra space to add flavor text that does not appear on the nonfoil
versions. Others, such as Time Stop, simply center their existing text
in the text box for added impact.[4]
Core Sets contain only a select number of mechanics chosen from
among the many mechanics which have been printed in expansion sets.
The keywords defender, double strike, equip, fear, first strike,
flash, flying, haste, landwalk, lifelink, protection, reach,
regeneration, shroud, trample, and vigilance are in Tenth Edition.
Tenth Edition is the first core set in recent history to include
cards with the Legendary supertype. While the Legendary rule is not
explained on the cards, it is explained on the Tips'N'Tricks cards
inserted into packs.
Tenth Edition also reprinted several cards from previous sets with changed rarity.

- Rule of Law, from Mirrodin
