Rules change

Starting with tabletop Core Set 2020 Preleases on July 5, the London mulligan will be used for all play. It will become officially reflected in the comprehensive rules with the M20 rules updates on July 12. To take this mulligan, a player shuffles the cards in their hand back into their library, draws a new hand of cards equal to their starting hand size, then puts a number of those cards equal to the number of times that player has taken a mulligan on the bottom of their library in any order.

Storyline

Core Set 2020 has a small flavor theme focusing on the life of Chandra Nalaar. There are no Story Spotlights.

Marketing

Core Set 2020 is sold in 16-card boosters (one card being a marketing card), theme boosters, five welcome decks, five planeswalker decks, the Core 2020 bundle, a Deck Builder's Toolkit and a Spellslinger Starter Kit. The bundle for the first time contains a alternate art foil promo card and an oversized spindown life counter. It also contains 20 foil lands.

Like with its predecessor, the Welcome decks, Planeswalker decks and Deck Builder's Toolkit are strongly integrated, which allows for an easier transition between the products. The Spellslinger Starter Kit is now also part of the line up.
