The back of a Magic: The Gathering card

Standard is currently the most popular Constructed Magic: the Gathering format. There are many different places to play Standard in Boston.

Standard is a “Rotating” format that typically consists of the current “Core Set” and the two latest “Blocks”. As such, Standard allows players to play games with the newest printed cards, and is ever-changing as new sets are released. This creates variety as new decks must be continuously built, updated, and play tested against other new decks within the format.

The current standard set list can be found on the Wizards of the Coast website here.
