Jump to navigation Jump to search

Wizards of the Coast occasionally announces bans and restrictions of cards in sanctioned Magic formats. In the past, these announcements were made through an organization called the DCI.

Announcements were made on a scheduled basis in the past.[1][2]

The following is a list of these announcements and their changes in chronological order. Formats that are not mentioned have seen no changes made to them in the respective announcements.

Skip to the current year

1994

The concept of formats doesn't yet exist. Vintage (Type 1) and Standard (Type 2) will be introduced in 1995.

1995

January

  • Standard: Format introduced on January 10 (then called "Type 2"), inheriting banned and restricted lists from Vintage (then called "Type 1"). Legal standard expansions are then the most current basic set (Revised Edition at the time) and the latest two Magic expansions only (The Dark and Fallen Empires). Unlike in Vintage, the head judge cannot ban cards from any such legal expansion.[10]

April

October

  • Standard: new deck construction rules. Standard (Type 2) can be composed of cards from the most recent edition of Magic The Gathering (Fourth Edition at the time), white border extensions (Chronicles), and all available limited edition expansions (Ice Age, Fallen Empires, and soon Homelands).[12]

  • Legacy: Format is created (then called Type 1.5). "Type 1.5 tournament decks may be constructed from Magic: The Gathering cards from the Limited (first edition, with black border) series, the Unlimited (second edition), Revised (third edition), Fourth Edition, any other Magic: The Gathering expansion (unless expressly disallowed by the head judge before the event), and promotional cards released by Wizards of the Coast in magazines or through books." There are no restricted cards. The list of banned cards is the sum of all cards that are either restricted or banned in Vintage or Standard.[14]

2017

The announcement schedule is changed to Monday following each expansion's release prerelease event, as well as the fifth Monday after the Pro Tour of the respective expansion.[74] The schedule was scaled back and revised in June 2017: Banned and restricted announcements are decoupled from set releases and the competitive schedule. Instead, updates are announced on a scheduled basis, which are mostly in a 2-3 3-month span.[75]
