Since Break the Powerstone, like [[A Timeless Voyage]] (ATV), can be fully completed with cards from any set, it could, like ATV, remain [[Standard]] even when cards from its associated set have rotated into Legacy.
BtP has the same points allocation (5 for the win and 3 and 2 for secondaries) and duration (46 hours) as many [[Coalition]] events, but it is unusual in having maximum points 20 points less than usual, at 120 points. However unusual, it is the second and consecutive 120 point event, following [[Family Business]], so they are, potentially, early examples of a new norm. It is also was the second event in recent years with half the total charges available at the start, and the other half added on the second day of the event, 23.5 hours later (the other first being [[Colors of Magic]]); Update 6.1.0 retroactively changed previous events to this new norm. It is a rare event, and possibly only the second event, to have a destroyable support; should The Powerstone be destroyed, it is replaced by a pair of indestructible supports, one for whichever player has the highest life total, or the acting player in the case of a tie, and the other for the other player.
