168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic The Gathering's 🅘Standard format is getting shaken🦹 up. In Standard, only the latest set releases are legal in the format. When September hits and rotation comes, Zendikar Rising, Kaldheim, Strixhaven: School Of Mages, and Dungeons & Dragons: Adventure In The Forgotten Realms will no longer be a part of the format.
Strixhaven: School Of Mages had quite a bit of powerful Standard cards, some even seeing a lot of play in other formats like Pioneer. With these cards leaving the format, many decks are going to have to adapt to the cards they'll be losing from rotation.
10 Eyetwitch
Eyetwitch is one of the most popular enablers 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:for the learn mechanic. Whenever it died, you were able to learn. Eyetwitc🍰h was a sta♚ple in sacrifice decks, often being the target for Deadly Dispute to get even more value out of it.
In addition, it was a 1/1/ with flying, which allowed it to hit the opponent in the air before sacrificing it off. Learn cards were popular throughout their entire stay in Standard, and losing it along with Eyetwitch will b𒅌e a sad momentꦿ for a unique mechanic in the format.
9 Masc𒐪ot Exhibition
Mascot Exhibition was one of the main win conditions 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:for many control decks in Standard that utilized the Lesson mechanic. They would run cards like Eyetwitch to learn, and Mascot Exhibition was often the Lesson you'd get from your sideboard when you were ready to start closing out the game.
Mascot Exhibition would 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:create three different tokens, all great in their own right. The 2/1 flyer was good f🐻or damage, the 3/2 for blocki⛄ng and attacking, and the 4/4 for the same reasons. These were often brought out when the battlefield was cleared and then would attack for massive damage.
8 🐈 Environme🐻ntal Sciences
Environmental Sciences is the staple card of letting decks ramp without needing to be in green. Environmental Science is a Lesson card that let you search your library for a basic land andꦏ put it into your hand, and gain two life as an added bonus.
Environmental Sciences is often the card you fetch out from your sidedeck when you learn, as it allowed you to ensure you wouldn't miss an important land drop. In mono-colored decks, it was even better since you wouldn't be running many non-basic lands, allowing the restriction to hardly affect you in a meaningful way.
7 Prismari Command ꦕ
Commands are a card staple in sets with factions. In Strixhaven: School Of Mage's case, these were in the form of the five schools. Of all of them, the one that's going to be the hardest to say goodbye to in Standard is Prismari Command. It's also the most played one by a rather significant margin.
Prismari Command has four different modes and lets you pick two of them at instant speed. Prismari Command let you deal damage, draw and discard, make a treasure, or 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:destroy an artifact. It popped up in many decks running red or ♏blu♔e and was always fun to use.
6 ꦰShow Of Confidence
Show Of Confidence is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:an unofficial storm card, meaning it would copy♏ itself for each spell cast before it. Unlike cards with storm, Show Of Confidence would only copy itself for each instant and sorcery spell that you had cast that turn.
Show Of Confidence enabled one of the only storm decks that were Standard legal in many recent years. Seen 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:most often in Jeskai (red/white/blue) Storm lists utilizing Goldspan Dragon, Unexpected Winfall, and Big Score,❀ Show Of Confidence made for a very fun and unique deck in the format. Losing Show Of Confidence will take storm away once again, with no current signs of it return𝓡ing.
5 𓃲 Expressi꧃ve Iteration
Expressive Iteration is arguably the most iconic card out of Strixhaven: School Of Mages, and is so good it even sees play in Legacy. For Standard, it was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a staple of Izzet (red/blue) and Jeskai control decks, Expressive Iteration let you 🌳look at the top three cards and put one in your hand, exile one that you can play that turn, and send one to the bottom of the deck.
Expressive Iteration let you essentially get two extra cards to play with while putting a dead card you don't want to the bottom of the deck. Expressive Iteration was one of the main reasons control decks were so good, and losing it will hurt one of control's best tools.
4 𓆉 Elite Spಌellbinder
Elite Spellbinder is a staple card in many mono-white decks. It has a fantastic effect that gives you both information on your opponent's hand while also making a card cost more. When it enters the battlefield, you look at your opponent's hand and exile a card. It can still be cast but costs two extra mana.
This allows you to make an important card cost a lot more, forcing more mana to be saved to use it when they need it. In addition, Elite Spellbinder is a 3/1 with flying, which can prove to be a problem if the opponent can't block it. Losing Elite Spellbinder weakens white decks quite a bit, and loses one of the most interesting humans in the format.
3 Go Blank
Go Blank is the biggest nightmare 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:for all graveyard decks. For just three mana, Go Blank forces a target player to discard two cards, and then exile their entire graveyard. Decks that want cards in their graveyard can't benefit from it, since they lose their graveyard entirely after it's done resolving.
Against Midrange decks, Go Blank can be devastating as it makes for a big tempo play. When using it when the opponent's hand is lower, it forces your opponent to choose important cards they have to get rid of. Go Blank was a hard check to graveyard decks, so it leaving Standard will be sad to see.
2 Test Of Talents 🃏
Test Of Talents is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:one of the best counterspells that Standard has, especially against decks that rely on specific spells. Test Of Talents can only counter instant or sorcery spells, but if it resolves, you don't have to worry about that spell again for the rest of the game. Test Of Talents lets you look at your opponent's hand, graveyard, and library and exile all the cards with the same name as the countered spell.
Test Of Talents not only counters a spell but gives you information on your opponent's hand and deck, letting you see what they sideboard in and out of in a best-of-three match. It's going to be a bummer to see such an interesting counterspell leave Standard.
1 ♑ Vanishing Verse ꧋
Vanishing Verse is one of the best removal spells available in Standard. Losing it once rotation hits is unfortunate, and mono-colored cards instantly become a lot better. Vanishing Verse lets you exile any mono-colored permanent, regardless o🗹f card type.
There are plenty of powerful mono-colored permanents in Standard and will remain in Standard once Vanishing Verse exits. Getting around indestructible creatures gets a lot harder, as no other great removal spells will remain in the format that can take care of them. Control decks are losing a lot of removal, and Vanishing Verse is the one that's going to be the saddest to see go.
