Magic 2011 contained 249 cards (101 Common, 60 Uncommon, 53 Rare, 15 Mythic, 20 Basic Lands). Like its predecessor Magic 2010, nearly half of the cards in Magic 2011 were new. Ten thirty-card sample decks released in 2011, consisting of basic lands, commons and 4 uncommons from Magic 2011 and the Zendikar block were given away and distributed to stores to promote Magic to new players. Due to a lack of rare or valuable cards, the Magic 2011 decks are generally regarded has having low value to collectors.
