Format context
The Standard format rotated on April 10, 2026 (March 26 on TCG Live). Cards with the G regulation mark are no longer legal. Only H, I, J and later marks are playable, a state players call "H-on". This rotated out the first year of Scarlet and Violet sets (Scarlet and Violet base through Paldean Fates), which retired several older staples.
