<P> All expansion sets, and all editions of the base set from Sixth Edition onward, are identified by an expansion symbol printed on the right side of cards, below the art and above the text box . From Exodus onward, the expansion symbols are also color - coded to denote rarity: black for common and basic land cards, silver for uncommon, and gold for rare . Beginning with the Shards of Alara set, a red - orange expansion symbol denotes a new rarity: "Mythic Rare" (the Time Spiral set featured an additional purple coloration for "timeshifted" cards). For the early expansion sets (from Arabian Nights to Alliances), the rarities of cards were often much more complicated than the breakdown into common, uncommon, and rare suggests . Cards in compilations are assigned rarity by Wizards, however, they do not necessarily match within the set, with some singletons rare and some mythic rare in a given set . </P> <P> After the second version (Beta) of the first set, which contained two cards mistakenly excluded from the first version (Alpha), all subsequent base sets through 10th Edition consisted of cards that had been printed before in either the original base set or an expansion set . Alpha through Fifth Edition did not have set symbols printed on the actual cards, though those sets were retroactively given set symbols in Wizards of the Coast's official Gatherer database of Magic cards . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Set </Th> <Th> Set symbol </Th> <Th> Set code </Th> <Th> Pre-release date </Th> <Th> Release date </Th> <Th_colspan="7"> Size </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Total Cards </Th> <Th> Common </Th> <Th> Uncommon </Th> <Th> Rare </Th> <Th> Mythic Rare </Th> <Th> Basic Land </Th> <Th> Other </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Limited Edition Alpha </Td> <Td> None </Td> <Td> LEA </Td> <Td> none </Td> <Td> August 5, 1993 </Td> <Td> 295 </Td> <Td> 74 </Td> <Td> 95 </Td> <Td> 116 </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> 10 </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Limited Edition Beta </Td> <Td> None </Td> <Td> LEB </Td> <Td> none </Td> <Td> October 1993 </Td> <Td> 302 </Td> <Td> 75 </Td> <Td> 95 </Td> <Td> 117 </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> 15 </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Unlimited Edition </Td> <Td> None </Td> <Td> 2ED </Td> <Td> none </Td> <Td> December 1993 </Td> <Td> 302 </Td> <Td> 75 </Td> <Td> 95 </Td> <Td> 117 </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> 15 </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Revised Edition </Td> <Td> None </Td> <Td> 3ED </Td> <Td> none </Td> <Td> April 1994 </Td> <Td> 306 </Td> <Td> 75 </Td> <Td> 95 </Td> <Td> 121 </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> 15 </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Fourth Edition </Td> <Td> None </Td> <Td> 4ED </Td> <Td> none </Td> <Td> April 1995 </Td> <Td> 378 </Td> <Td> 121 </Td> <Td> 121 </Td> <Td> 121 </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> 15 </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Fifth Edition </Td> <Td> None / Roman - numeral five </Td> <Td> 5ED </Td> <Td> none </Td> <Td> March 24, 1997 </Td> <Td> 449 </Td> <Td> 165 </Td> <Td> 132 </Td> <Td> 132 </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> 20 </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Classic Sixth Edition </Td> <Td> A Roman - numeral six </Td> <Td> 6ED </Td> <Td> none </Td> <Td> April 28, 1999 </Td> <Td> 350 </Td> <Td> 110 </Td> <Td> 110 </Td> <Td> 110 </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> 20 </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Seventh Edition </Td> <Td> A serif numeral seven </Td> <Td> 7ED </Td> <Td> none </Td> <Td> April 11, 2001 </Td> <Td> 350 </Td> <Td> 110 </Td> <Td> 110 </Td> <Td> 110 </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> 20 </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Eighth Edition </Td> <Td> The number eight superimposed over three fanned cards </Td> <Td> 8ED </Td> <Td> none </Td> <Td> July 28, 2003 </Td> <Td> 357 </Td> <Td> 110 </Td> <Td> 110 </Td> <Td> 110 </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> 20 </Td> <Td> 7 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ninth Edition </Td> <Td> The number nine superimposed over three fanned cards </Td> <Td> 9ED </Td> <Td> none </Td> <Td> July 29, 2005 </Td> <Td> 359 </Td> <Td> 110 </Td> <Td> 110 </Td> <Td> 110 </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> 20 </Td> <Td> 9 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Tenth Edition </Td> <Td> A Roman - numeral ten </Td> <Td> 10E </Td> <Td> none </Td> <Td> July 13, 2007 </Td> <Td> 383 </Td> <Td> 121 </Td> <Td> 121 </Td> <Td> 121 </Td> <Td>--</Td> <Td> 20 </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Magic 2010 </Td> <Td> "M10" </Td> <Td> M10 </Td> <Td> July 11, 2009 </Td> <Td> July 17, 2009 </Td> <Td> 249 </Td> <Td> 101 </Td> <Td> 60 </Td> <Td> 53 </Td> <Td> 15 </Td> <Td> 20 </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Magic 2011 </Td> <Td> "M11" </Td> <Td> M11 </Td> <Td> July 10, 2010 </Td> <Td> July 16, 2010 </Td> <Td> 249 </Td> <Td> 101 </Td> <Td> 60 </Td> <Td> 53 </Td> <Td> 15 </Td> <Td> 20 </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Magic 2012 </Td> <Td> "M12" </Td> <Td> M12 </Td> <Td> July 9, 2011 </Td> <Td> July 15, 2011 </Td> <Td> 249 </Td> <Td> 101 </Td> <Td> 60 </Td> <Td> 53 </Td> <Td> 15 </Td> <Td> 20 </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Magic 2013 </Td> <Td> "M13" </Td> <Td> M13 </Td> <Td> July 7, 2012 </Td> <Td> July 13, 2012 </Td> <Td> 249 </Td> <Td> 101 </Td> <Td> 60 </Td> <Td> 53 </Td> <Td> 15 </Td> <Td> 20 </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Magic 2014 </Td> <Td> "M14" </Td> <Td> M14 </Td> <Td> July 13, 2013 </Td> <Td> July 19, 2013 </Td> <Td> 249 </Td> <Td> 101 </Td> <Td> 60 </Td> <Td> 53 </Td> <Td> 15 </Td> <Td> 20 </Td> <Td>--</Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Magic 2015 </Td> <Td> "M15" </Td> <Td> M15 </Td> <Td> July 12, 2014 </Td> <Td> July 18, 2014 </Td> <Td> 269 </Td> <Td> 101 </Td> <Td> 80 </Td> <Td> 53 </Td> <Td> 15 </Td> <Td> 20 </Td> <Td> 15 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Magic Origins </Td> <Td> Planeswalker symbol breaking through the horizon </Td> <Td> ORI </Td> <Td> July 11, 2015 </Td> <Td> July 17, 2015 </Td> <Td> 272 </Td> <Td> 101 </Td> <Td> 80 </Td> <Td> 55 </Td> <Td> 16 </Td> <Td> 20 </Td> <Td> 16 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Core 2019 </Td> <Td> unrevealed </Td> <Td> M19 </Td> <Td> July 14, 2018 </Td> <Td> July 20, 2018 </Td> <Td> 269 </Td> <Td_colspan="6"> unrevealed </Td> </Tr> </Table> <Tr> <Th> Set </Th> <Th> Set symbol </Th> <Th> Set code </Th> <Th> Pre-release date </Th> <Th> Release date </Th> <Th_colspan="7"> Size </Th> </Tr>
