Overview

Standard is a card set format which includes Origins, plus between four and eight of the newest main-line card sets.

Standard format is often contrasted to Legacy format, a format including all card sets, or Block format, which includes selected card sets only.

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 main-line non-Origins card 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 was added to MtGPQ in November 2019, the following card sets rotated out of Standard: XLN, RIX, DOM, and M19.

In events

In a Standard Format event, decks must include only 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.

List of Standard format events

In decks

Any deck containing only Standard cards 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 (PvP Legacy Coalition) with the deck.
