MTG-Standard is focused entirely on the standard format. Our goal was to develop a platform that supports and promotes standard players. While many other websites cover standard as part of their content, we stand out as the sole site specifically devoted to standard and standard finance. Finding information on standard cards or identifying which cards are reprints in standard sets can be quite challenging. We compile all of this information in one place. So, what exactly is standard?

  • Deck Size: Minimum of 60 cards in your deck with no maximum
  • Sideboard: Up to 15 cards in your sideboard
  • Card Limits: You cannot have more than four copies of any card, except for basic lands
  • Rotation: Standard includes cards from the last three years (list of standard legal sets)
  • Players: Standard games take place between two players
  • Winning: Standard games are best of one or two out of three

MTG-Standard.com is funded by advertisements. Our aim is to provide free and accessible information to all users, which is why we don’t impose a paywall on our site. We gather data from various sources, including MTGJSON.com and Scryfall.com, and we keep it regularly updated to guarantee that we offer the most current information. Our unique value lies not in replicating their sites, but in delivering insights on how changes in cards, sets, and the meta affect the standard format.

Where do I get started?

You may wish to examine the standard legal sets and distinguish between the reprinted cards and the new cards included in each set. Alternatively, you could look into cards valued at over $0.75 for each rarity category.
