Mechanics
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.
- Chromatic Star, from Time Spiral
- Demolish, from Odyssey
- Flamewave Invoker, from Legions
- Fog Elemental, from Weatherlight
- Rule of Law, from Mirrodin

Famous quotes containing the word mechanics:
“It is only the impossible that is possible for God. He has given over the possible to the mechanics of matter and the autonomy of his creatures.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“the moderate Aristotelian city
Of darning and the Eight-Fifteen, where Euclid’s geometry
And Newton’s mechanics would account for our experience,
And the kitchen table exists because I scrub it.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
