The inevitable rotation of the Standard format will be on this coming October 4th wherein it is the same date that Throne of Eldraine will be legal to play. After two years of enjoyment in gameplay, we say goodbye to the sets Ixalan, Rivals of Ixalan, Dominaria and Magic 2019. While the first two sets personally did not made a mark in my Standard format game experience, I would really miss the nostalgia feels of the Dominaria set. Being the first plane as the setting of the first Magic sets, it became part of my growth as a Magic: the Gathering player in its storylines, characters and card abilities.

There is one interesting and quite funny poem I found in Reddit and I’d glad to share it below.

The Wreckage is Settled, Azcanta’s been found,

The dinos extinct and the Legends Cast Down.

The Tempest diminished, the Storm has been Tamed,

And Benalia’s Historians Marshalled away.

Those Bound in Ixalan are finally free,

but the Sun’s not Immortal, and neither is Squee.

Exploring’s grown boring, and with unfavorable Winds,

The Legions are Landing, their Journey must End.

Welcoming Throne of Eldraine in the newest look of Standard, we have the following legal sets: Guilds of Ravnica, Ravnica Allegiance, War of the Spark, Coreset 2020 and Throne of Eldraine. I am pretty sure we are all excited to try all of these decklists floating around in various websites that the Pro players have brewed.

Of course in building the decks, we all must have the budget and money to at least preorder those valuable card components. This method is probably the easiest way of deck completion while buying sealed products such as booster boxes is another way of completing most of the cards but only in one or two copies.

The local community is almost ready to play and also excited as well. The two Prerelease events will be tonight and tomorrow for the first-hand experience of the lore and gameplay of Throne of Eldraine.

I do not expect our decks to be completed right away with no preorders posted, but eventually we will once the start of the Standard grind commences.
