Standard, formerly known as Type 2, is a rotating constructed format. [1] [2]
Description
Constructed decks must contain a minimum of sixty cards. There is no maximum deck size; however, you must be able to shuffle your deck with no assistance. If a player wishes to use a sideboard, it may contain up to fifteen cards.
With the exception of basic land cards, a player's combined deck and sideboard may not contain more than four of any individual card, counted by its English card title equivalent.[3]
Rotation
Standard allows for all cards in the newest two story-based blocks and the newest Core Set to be played, save for cards on the Standard Banned List.
Beginning in 2016, core sets will be discontinued and blocks will only contain two sets, usually one large and one small. The first set of each block (the fall and spring Sets) will cause a rotation, which 3 blocks will be used. This will not substantially change until Theros block rotated out from Standard. After Theros block rotated out, Tarkir block and final core set will become two seperate blocks in terms or rotation(Khans of Tarkir and Fate Reforged will rotate out in Spring 2016, Dragons of Tarkir and Magic 2016 will rotate out in Autumn 2016 instead).[4]
Current Rotation
These are the sets that are legal in the Standard format as of September 26, 2014[3]:
Banned list
