It was the twelfth core set for Magic: the Gathering. As its predecessor, Magic 2010, the set has new cards in it, but to a lesser extent.
Set Details
Magic 2011 contains the keyword scry. This marks the first time that a mechanic from an expert level set has been printed in a core set, without making that mechanic evergreen, or permanently available for use in all future sets.[2]
Also, this set introduced the concept of "planeswalker signature cards": cards of lesser rarities that are tied directly to the central planeswalker characters of the set (ex. "Ajani's Pridemate" and "Ajani's Mantra" were included as a reference to the planeswalker "Ajani Goldmane"). These cards were made to make the identity of the planeswalkers more accessible to players, as the planeswalker cards themselves are only available in mythic rarities.
Notable Cards
- Titan cycle - The cycle of titans featured creatures with mana cost 4 colorless and 2 of the titan's color: Frost Titan, Inferno Titan, Grave Titan, Primeval Titan, and Sun Titan. The latter was used as the pre-release promotional card.
- Fauna Shaman This is a Survival of the Fittest on a 2/2 creature. It is widely used in many different formats.
