What is Standard?
Standard is a rotating group of Magic: The Gathering sets. Most sets enter Standard when they're released and drop out about twenty-one months later.
Generally Standard will grow until it would receive its ninth set, then instead it drops its oldest four sets to receive it as a fifth set. There are exceptions to this. It's confusing.
A Standard card is a card printed or reprinted into a set currently in Standard.
A Standard deck contains only Standard cards (60+ of them), can optionally have a sideboard of up to 15 more Standard cards, and apart from basic lands does not have more than four copies of any one card .
Standard sets:
- Throne of Eldraine
- Theros: Beyond Death
- Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths
- Core Set 21
- Zendikar Rising

WHAT IS COMMANDER?
Commander is an exciting, unique way to play Magic that is all about awesome legendary creatures, big plays, and battling your friends in epic multiplayer games! In Commander, each player chooses a legendary creature as the commander of their deck. They then play with a 99-card deck that contains only cards of their commander's colors. Also, other than basic lands, each deck can only use one copy of any card. During the game, you can cast your commander multiple times, meaning your favorite Legendary Creature can come back again and again to lead the charge as you battle for victory!
These Commander decks introduce an ability called eminence that lets your commander lead from the command zone, even before they have entered the battlefield. The eminence ability appears on characters from all parts of Magic lore, allowing you to call on the power and skill of some of the best leaders in the Multiverse.
HOW TO PLAY COMMANDER
The Commander format is all about picking your hero and building a deck around them. In this casual, multiplayer format, you choose a legendary creature to serve as your commander and build the rest of your deck around their color identity.
