*Doesn't count towards when Standard rotates

Legacy is often contrasted to Standard, a format including Origins plus some of the newest card sets, or Block format, which includes selected card sets only. Legacy format is associated with the Legacy Ribbon (Legacy).

In events

In a Legacy Format event, decks may contain any card, since the Legacy format includes all card sets. Decks built from a larger pool of the best cards tend to make Legacy opponents more difficult than Standard ones.

List of Legacy format events

In decks

Any deck containing one or more non-Standard format card is a Legacy deck, and may only be played in Legacy events.

  • A Standard format Deck shows no ribbon in the deck editor.
  • A Legacy format Deck shows the Legacy Ribbon ( ) with the deck.
