The standard format in Magic: The Gathering has been the lifeblood of the game for decades. Players were constantly being presented with new metagames to explore as cards would move in and out of the format. In recent years, Wizards of the Coast has put their attention on eternal formats like Modern and Commander in an attempt to increase revenue. By doing so, they have dramatically shifted the way that cards enter the game and with it have damaged the game forever. In this video we discuss the strengths of the standard format and what might be done to bring Magic back to the path of sustainability.
