Extended (also known as Type 1.X) was a rotating format that included editions from the most recent few years only.[1][2] Wizards of the Coast no longer supports Extended, having replaced it with the Modern format.[3] Extended was founded in July 1997 from the former Classic-Restricted format (which later became Legacy).[4] It used typical Constructed rules for deck construction.[5]
Retirement
As the popularity of Modern continued to rise, Wizards of the Coast made the decision to retire Extended as a sanctioned format on August 7, 2013 (approved sanction event can be held until October 8).[3] At the time the format retired, the format permitted cards from the Zendikar block, Magic 2011, the Scars of Mirrodin block, Magic 2012, the Innistrad–Avacyn Restored block, Magic 2013, the Return to Ravnica block, Magic 2014, and Theros.
Current rotation
Though Wizards of the Coast no longer sanctions Extended, the current legal sets would be as follows. (Extrapolated to the Two-Block Paradigm; in autumn 2017 this should become easily defined as "the seven or eight most recent blocks," with Dragons of Tarkir and Magic Origins being considered their own block.)
| Set | Legal until |
|---|---|
| Khans of Tarkir | Autumn 2018 |
| Fate Reforged | |
| Dragons of Tarkir | |
| Magic Origins | |
| Battle for Zendikar | Autumn 2019 |
| Oath of the Gatewatch | |
| Welcome Deck 2016 | |
| Shadows over Innistrad | |
| Eldritch Moon | |
| Kaladesh | Autumn 2020 |
| Aether Revolt | |
| Welcome Deck 2017 | |
| Amonkhet | |
| Hour of Devastation | |
| Ixalan | Autumn 2021 |
| Rivals of Ixalan | |
| Dominaria | |
| Core 2019 |
Rotation
When it was retired, Extended included the most recent four years of blocks and core sets, with the oldest year rotating out upon the release of a new block each autumn. (Each core set was grouped with the block preceding it.)
History
When it was founded, Extended included the most recent three years of core sets and expansion sets (excluding Legends), along with all promotional cards that were never printed in a set. This accumulated as new sets were released, and had several blocks rotate out every two to three years (see table below).
On 1 March 2008, Extended changed to the last seven years of blocks and core sets, rotating upon the release of a new block each autumn.[6]
On 18 June 2010, Extended changed to the last four years of blocks and core sets, rotating upon the release of a new block each autumn.[7]
