Changes

* Starting in 3.0, Standard in MtGPQ will follow tabletop MtG’s own Standard format with the single difference of <u>Origins always being in Standard</u>. == Overview ==* 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 FormatStandard]].* If your deck complies with the Standard Format, it will not have the Legacy Ribbon (is a [[FilePortal:deck-legacy-banner.png|x20px|PvP Legacy CoalitionCards|link=#Icon descriptionscard set]]) on top corner of the deck editor.* Using this formula, format which includes [[XLN]], [[RIX]], [[DOMOrigins]], plus between four and [[M19]] should all rotate out together sometime in eight of the fall of 2019newest card sets.

Standard is often contrasted to '''[[Legacy]]''', a format including all card sets. Legacy format is associated with the Legacy Ribbon ([[File:deck-legacy-banner.png|x20px|PvP Legacy Coalition|link=#Icon descriptions]]), while Standard format has no graphical symbol in the game. === Future Standard ==='''Future Standard''' is a format consisting only of card sets which will remain in Standard after the next Standard rotation. The [[Ravnica at War]] series of events are Future Standard format events, and may become Standard events after the next Standard rotation. == How Standard changes ==The card sets in Standard format match the Standard format of tabletop MtG, with the single difference of [[Origins]] always being in Standard. The Standard format changes according to the following rules:* New sets are added to Standard until it reaches 8 non-Origins sets (9 sets total). * When the 9th non-Origins set (10th set total) is added, the oldest four non-Origins Sets are removed from Standard. When Throne of Eldraine (the set following [[M20]]) is added to MtGPQ, the following card sets are expected to rotate out of Standard: [[XLN]], [[RIX]], [[DOM]], and [[M19]]. ==In events==In a [[Standard Format]] event, [[deck]]s may only be played if they must include only contain [[card]]s from Standard card sets. Standard events were introduced as a way of combating power creep, and lowering the barrier of entry for new players.

==In decks==Any [[deck]] containing <u>only </u> Standard [[card]]s is a Standard deck, and may be played in Standard or [[Legacy]] [[events]]. * A '''Standard''' format [[Deck]] shows no ribbon in the deck editor.* A '''Legacy''' format [[Deck]] shows the Legacy Ribbon ([[File:deck-legacy-banner.png|x20px|PvP Legacy Coalition|link=#Icon descriptions]]) with the deck.
