MTG tweaks Banned & Restricted announcements with Standard rotation change
Wizards of the Coast is changing how Magic: The Gathering Banned & Restricted announcements will work going forward following the alterations made to the Standard format rotation, according to game designer Andrew Brown during the May 16 MTGWeekly stream.
Starting with the release of Wilds of Eldraine (WOE), Magic sets will remain in the Standard format for a total of three years instead of two. The Standard rotation change means no cards are rotating out of the format this year. In conjunction with the new Standard rotation process, WotC is also changing up the Banned & Restricted model.
