Magic: what leaves and what stays with the 2025 Standard rotation

The 2025 Standard rotation reshuffles the format. Here is what you need to know before rebuilding your deck.

What rotates out

Four sets leave Standard with this rotation:

• The Brothers' War
• March of the Machine
• March of the Machine: The Aftermath
• Wilds of Eldraine

That means the end of pillars like Fable of the Mirror-Breaker and Sunfall in the format.

Decks that survive

Archetypes built around Bloomburrow and Duskmourn remain untouched. Domain Ramp, relying on dual lands and Atraxa, keeps its backbone.

Azorius Control loses some answers but gains coherence with new cards from the upcoming set.

What it means for prices

When a card rotates out of Standard, its price often drops 40 to 60 percent in a few weeks. If you want to speculate on Legacy or Modern specs, now is the right time to buy on Cardmarket before prices stabilize.

Cards staying in the format generally hold their value, or even increase if they become more central to the new meta.
