The first core set with legends
What this set is
Tenth Edition is the tenth core set and the last of the numbered editions; Magic 2010 followed it two years later. It has 383 numbered cards (141 common, 121 uncommon, 121 rare), and the catalog lists premium foils of many of them.
It is the first core set with legendary creatures: Arcanis the Omnipotent, Reya Dawnbringer, Squee, Goblin Nabob, Phage the Untouchable and Ascendant Evincar among them, all reprinted from earlier sets. Compared with Ninth Edition, 214 of its cards are new to the core set.
For Commander it is a good source of staples: Rampant Growth, Terramorphic Expanse, Mind Stone, Birds of Paradise, Llanowar Elves and the enemy painlands. Nothing in it is banned in Modern, Legacy, Vintage or Commander.
