Standard/Timeline

Magic: The Gathering was first released in 1993 with very few restrictions on how players could construct their decks (which cards to include, and how many copies of each card were allowed). The game evolved over time to encompass many different formats with various constraints for how players could construct their decks. Constructed formats, for instance, allow players to build decks in advance using cards from their collection, although only a subset of cards are allowed. Another major development was the creation of officially sanctioned tournaments for prize money. These official tournaments created an incentive for players to continue to buy cards for new sets, and helped establish a long-term future for the game.
The rotating constructed format known today as Standard (originally called "Type 2") was first announced on January 10, 1995, inheriting banned and restricted lists from another format, called Vintage. Today, it is one of the most common formats used for large official tournaments. Since it was initially announced, the way that card legality is determined, and the way cards rotate in and out of the format has gone through many changes. For most of the format's history, set rotation was a distinctive element: new card sets get added to the list of allowed sets, until eventually the older sets on the list are removed from the list, or "rotate out" of the format. Below is a timeline of different Standard environments throughout the format's history. Where verifiable, effective dates of legality are listed (as opposed to release or announcement dates.). When only one date is listed, it is for paper magic (not Magic Online or Arena). Data for the earliest years of the format are hard to verify with precision, as the internet, and the game, was still in its infancy.
==Timeline==
BeganEffective Date 	Ended 	Legal Sets 	Total CardsMethodology: Only total functionally-unique card objects, basic lands not included, ignoring alternate art versions. Ignores the back side of double faced and meld cards. Includes cards considered legal but not available in booster packs, such as Welcome decks and Planeswalker decks. Subtracts banned cards. In many cases, however, this number is still inaccurate (too large, usually) as there were duplicates (reprints) available in multiple sets legal at the same time (Birds of Paradise is one example). Where reprints HAVE been subtracted, please add a separate subtraction row, similar to the banned cards subtracted row.	Comments 	Notable Deck Archetypes
Jan 10 1995 	Type II format announced: only allows cards still available in the basic Revised Edition and the latest two expansions.
Banned and Restricted lists inherited from Vintage. Most of those were irrelevant to Type II. Restricted cards relevant to Type II were: Braingeyser, Sol Ring, Channel, Copy Artifact, Demonic Tutor, Regrowth, Wheel of Fortune, Ivory Tower, Mind Twist, and Maze of Ith. Banned cards relevant were: Contract From Below, Darkpact, & Demonic Attorney. Some cards at that time had already been restricted and then unrestricted: Orcish Oriflamme (unrestricted in Feb 1994) Dingus Egg (unrestricted May 1994). Also, all Legendary cards were restricted for flavor reasons.	Type II format announced: only allows cards still available in the basic Revised Edition and the latest two expansions.

Triggered abilities clarified. "Damage-prevention step" removed. Artifacts also received a rule change. Before the change, an artifact "shut off" or stopped working while it was tapped, unless it was an artifact creature. After, an artifact remains active while tapped. This was to bring artifacts more in line with other cards. Some artifacts (like Howling Mine and Static Orb) retained the "shut off" aspect, which necessitated explicitly printing that they only worked while untapped. Combat restructured. A player with zero or less life loses the game as soon as a player has priority.

For the purpose of this new construction rule only, Khans of Tarkir and Fate Reforged were counted as a "block" and Dragons of Tarkir and Magic Origins were counted as another.
