magic: the gathering
throughout the 2000s, wizards continued to release new editions of "magic: the gathering" ("" in 2001, "" in 2003, in 2005, and "" in 2007). in 2009, wizards announced a new edition called "" which was the first major rules change to "magic" since the "" was released in 1994. on this overhaul, aaron forsythe said "the core set has been completely marginalized by the enfranchised player base. it has been perceived as merely a list of cards legal in standard and little more, and under those circumstances it tends to drift off shelves and out of the public consciousness, making it harder for new players to find the proper entry point. but "magic 2010" will change all that. this set is "magic" at its most pure, and it should appeal to players of all skill levels. [...] another part of our plan to keep the core set relevant is that it will be refreshed every year, not every other year [...] and will give us a much more structured and predictable release schedule of three expert-level expansions and one core set each year". "magic 2010" was the first core set since "" to feature new cards and it was the first core set with planeswalkers.
