Standard

Overview

Each card set is either Legacy or Standard. Standard card sets include all sets newer than a certain age, plus Origins, which is always a Standard card set.

• Starting in 3.0, Standard in MtGPQ will follow tabletop MtG’s own Standard format with the single difference of Origins always being in Standard.
• Sets will be added to Standard until it reaches 8 non-Origins sets.
• Once the ninth non-Origins Set is added, the oldest four non-Origins Sets will be moved into the Legacy Format.
• If your deck complies with the Standard Format, it will not have the Legacy Ribbon () on top corner of the deck editor.
• Using this formula, XLN, RIX, DOM, and M19 should all rotate out together sometime in the fall of 2019.

In events

In a Standard Format event, decks may only be played if they only contain cards from Standard card sets. Standard events were introduced as a way of combating power creep, and lowering the barrier of entry for new players.
