Timeline of Magic: the Gathering Standard (Type II)
The collectible card game 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).[1][2] The game evolved over time, and different formats were developed which each had different 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.[3] Another major development was the creation of officially sanctioned tournaments that offer 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.[4]
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.[5] 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 for paper magic (not Magic Online) are listed (as opposed to release or announcement dates.) 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.
| Began[6] | Ended | Legal Sets | Total Cards[7] | 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.[5]
Banned and Restricted lists inherited from Vintage.[8] Most of those were irrelevant to Type II. Cards relevant to Type II were: Sol Ring, Channel, Copy Artifact, Demonic Tutor, Regrowth, Wheel of Fortune, Ivory Tower, Mind Twist (restricted), Contract From Below, Darkpact, & Demonic Attorney (banned). 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. | ||||

New editions of the Basic Set replace old versions and are permitted in Standard play 30 days after the release date of the new edition. New stand-alone expansions (e.g. Ice Age, Mirage) replace previous stand-alone expansions and are permitted in Standard play 30 days after the release date of the new edition. Limited-edition expansions more than 10 months old at time of release are replaced when a new expansion becomes legal.[26] Fallen Empires and Ice Age are removed from Standard.[22] All cards on the restricted list are moved to the banned list.

Type II reports from this time are hard to find. Based on tournament reports from The Magic Dojo it appears that there were some Type II tournaments from this time period that ran using "old type 2" deck construction rules from 1996.[29][30]

Standard decks can be composed of cards from the most recent edition of Magic: The Gathering (then 5th Edition) and all sets from the two most recent "blocks" of expansions. New card sets become effective on the first day of the month following their introduction. If a set is released in the last two weeks of a month, then the set's effective date is pushed out to the first of the second month. For example, a set released on January 8 is legal on February 1, and one released on January 25 is legal on March 1.[27] | ||||

Rules Changes: Spells and combat damage go on the "stack." Interrupts became instants. "Mana abilities" cannot be countered, mana spells can. 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. | |

- ↑ Methodology: 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.
