==Overview=={{Infobox Formats}}Each [[Standard]] is a [[Portal:Cards|card set]] is either format which includes [[LegacyOrigins]] or Standard. Standard card sets include all sets newer than a certain age, plus [[Origins]], which is always a Standard between four and eight of the newest main-line card setsets.

In some Standard format is often contrasted to '''[[Game History|game updatesLegacy]]''' format, a format including all card sets, one or more of the oldest Standard '''Block''' format, which includes selected card sets are moved out of Standard and into [[Legacy]]only.

Oktagon confirmed, in 2023, that they would be following Wizards of the Coast in extending the Standard playability of cards to three years instead of two. [[MID]], [[VOW]], [[NEO]], and [[SNC]] will not be rotating out until 2024, but presumably in the third quarter of the year, as [[#Before 2023|before 2023]].  When [[Dominaria United]] was released in October 2022, Standard format rotated, and the previously Standard sets [[Zendikar Rising]], [[Kaldheim]], [[Strixhaven]], and [[Adventures in the Forgotten Realms]] became Legacy sets. == 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: Cards rotate out in their third year, including the year they were released. === Before 2023 ===Rotation took place in the third quarter of the year. The Standard format changed according to the following rules, until 2023:* New sets were added to Standard until Standard contained Origins plus 8 main-line non-Origins card sets. [[Zendikar vs Eldrazi]] and [[Daxos vs Kalemne]] are not considered main-line card sets.* When the 9th non-Origins set (10 main-line Standard sets including Origins) was added, the oldest group of four non-Origins Sets, and any non-mainline sets, were removed from Standard. === Rotations ===When [[Innistrad: Midnight Hunt]] was released in October 2021, [[Throne of Eldraine]], [[Theros Beyond Death]], [[Daxos vs Kalemne]], [[Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths]] and [[Core Set 2021]] became Legacy sets. In the fourth quarter of 2020, after the release of [[Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths]], Core Set 2021, and Zendikar Rising, the following card sets rotated out of Standard: [[Zendikar vs Eldrazi]], [[Guilds of Ravnica]], [[Ravnica Allegiance]], [[War of the Spark]] and [[M20]].  When [[Throne of Eldraine]] was added to MtGPQ in November 2019 [[Ixalan]], [[Rivals of Ixalan]], [[Dominaria]], and [[M19]] rotated out. ==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 ({{Legacy icon|17}}) with the deck.
