Set rotation (or rotation for short) used to be based on [[block]]s, rather than individual sets. There were three exceptions however:
*''[[Coldsnap]]'' was pegged to [[Time Spiral block]] for rotation (however, due to regulation changes in Extended, Coldsnap rotated out earlier than Time Spiral block instead of rotating out together).
*''[[Coldsnap]]'' was pegged to [[Time Spiral block]] for rotation (however, due to regulation changes in Extended, Coldsnap rotated out earlier than Time Spiral block instead of rotating out together).
*The two [[mini-block]]s [[Lorwyn block|Lorwyn]] and [[Shadowmoor block|Shadowmoor]] counted as one block.
*The two [[mini-block]]s [[Lorwyn block|Lorwyn]] and [[Shadowmoor block|Shadowmoor]] counted as one block.
*The three sets of [[Khans of Tarkir block|Tarkir block]] block are split into two separated blocks for rotation: Where ''[[Khans of Tarkir]]'' and ''[[Fate Reforged]]'' counts as one block, and ''[[Dragons of Tarkir]]''(pegged with ''[[Magic Origins]]'') counts as another.
