Words got out from head designer mark rosewater on august 25, 2014 that wizard made an announcement about some big deal changes to the game and it’s standard rotation. Seems like there was a lot of positive feedback about the changes than there were negative feedbacks, which is usually the other way around.
Most people know about the change already but I’d like to put my opinion into it, just as everyone else did. Now the new rotatation of stand is going to work like this:
• Instead of two three blocks they will be doing three two blocks set a year, which means the core set will be no more.
• The rotation of standard will be rotated out in 18 months instead of 24 months, so the rotation is going to happen much quicker than ever.
So the RTR block will (obviously) be rotated out when khans of tarkir will come out. Than in the spring of 2015 the next set of khans will be out, which nothing rotates out from that. But in the fall theros will be rotated out leaving the three sets from the khans block out there. then they will be doing rotations to the point where it would be the two block set instead of the three block sets. Seems like a lot to dwell on but hey we have a year and a half before this starts happening.
Like most players I seem to be fine with the core sets not coming out anymore. They are just all reprints and never really that exciting to be picking up at the store. Either way I may still buy them just to have them. I like the three block sets but down grading to having only two block sets is a huge difference. It makes me wonder if they are going to be printing more cards for the blocks. We will find out once they start doing it this way.
How do you feel about the change?
