Magic 2012

The Magic: The Gathering 2012 Core Set (a.k.a Magic 2012 or M12) is a Core Set which was released on July 15, 2011. The worldwide Prerelease events took place July 9–10, 2011, and Launch Parties took place July 15–18, 2011.

Magic 2012 contains 249 cards (101 Common, 60 Uncommon, 53 Rare, 15 Mythic, 20 Basic Lands), including randomly inserted premium versions of all cards. The set saw the return of planeswalkers and the five Titans, had a minor aura theme, introduced hexproof and had several top-down designed creatures. The returning mechanic for this Core Set was bloodthirst.

Magic 2012 also marked the return of Korean to the set of printed languages. Sets from 4th Edition through Urza's Saga had been printed in Korean in the past, before Korean was dropped from the list of printed languages. Magic 2012 brought the list of printed languages to 11: English, Chinese Traditional, Chinese Simplified, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.
