What Happens To My Rotated Magic Cards
We’re sorry to say that they instantly burst into flame.
I honestly cannot believe standard players are going to be dealing with Sheoldred until Fall 2025. Effectively another year, it feels like it’s been in standard forever.
It’s also really interesting to me that the next rotation sees that entire Brother’s War arc rotate out. That arc was kind of the last consistent in-universe story line we got in the sets. That will rotate out after having experienced the universes beyond sets for 4-6 months, and from there on out, we are more or less in a whole new era of the game.
I’d stay this 2025 rotation is actually pretty significant. Moving into 3 year standard, so the following rotation isn’t until 2027 (!) and then by then we will have 9 universes beyond sets in standard, Foundations still around for another 2 more years, and a standard format that is incorporating 19 sets in total. Gonna be a very interesting site to behold!
Dominaria/Brothers War is what was coming out the first time i got into magic. That was a fun time.
Now im back after a couple year break and am getting caught back up on all the happenings.
It seems like standard is a lot healthier now, there is a huge range of good and fun decks, so im happy about that. Im not sure how the universes beyond cards being legal in standard will fly. Im willing to give it a shot but spiderman next to Elspeth or Squee just feels… weird to me.
I’m trying to get into some of the other formats as well, to keep my interest longer this time.
