Standard, Wild and Other Formats

Which cards each format allows, and how to tell which one a deck code was built for.

Standard

Standard uses the core set plus the most recent expansions. Once a year, the oldest sets rotate out to Wild, which keeps the format fresh and the card pool manageable.

Wild

Wild allows every card ever released, apart from a few that have been banned or removed. It's where older decks live on and where power levels run highest.

Classic, Twist and others

Classic recreates the game's original card pool. Twist rotates in special rules and card pools from season to season. Every deck code records which format it was built for, and our viewer shows it next to the deck's class.
