[[Category:Card games introduced in 2001]]
'''''7th Edition''''' was a ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' set printed in 2001. It is the only core set since ''[[Alpha (Magic: The Gathering)|Alpha]]'' to have introduced all-new art for every card. A white-bordered set, it was first available on [[April 2]], [[2001]]. The set contained 350 cards. It was the first Core Set to introduce black-bordered foils. The expansion symbol was a stylized 7.

==7th Edition Starter== +
Despite being an advanced level set 7th Edition contained a separate basic subset for new players similar to the products that were previously offered as Starter 2000. Cards that appeared in the 7th Edition Starter special pre-constructed theme decks did not appear in boosters. This would be the last starter level product released by Wizards of the Coast.

== Notable cards==
Although ''7th Edition'', as a base set, introduced no new cards, several popular cards that had been missing from the preceding editions of the core set (including Serra Angel, Shivan Dragon, and Mahamoti Djinn) made return appearances. Also, some notable cards were reprinted in the base set for the first time. These included:

*'''[http://gatherer.wizards.com/gathererlookup.asp?name=Opposition Opposition]''': A blue enchantment used heavily in creature-based decks. When it was in Standard tournaments, it was often paired with another new card, Squirrel's Nest.

*'''[http://gatherer.wizards.com/gathererlookup.asp?name=Goblin+Matron Goblin Matron]''': Previously an overlooked ''[[Urza's Saga]]'' common, but after the release of the ''[[Onslaught (Magic: The Gathering)|Onslaught]]'' block, became a staple in goblin decks.

*'''[http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?id=15863 Coat of Arms]''': Though not often used in tournaments, the ability to universally boost "tribal" decks proved popular to casual players.

*'''[http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?id=25644 Persecute]''': Ever since this black card was added to the basic set, it has been a thorn in the side of single-color decks in Standard.

*'''[http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?id=25553 Worship]''': This enchantment has long been a popular way for white decks with hard-to-kill creatures to survive against more aggressive decks.
