*** ORIGINAL POST & PREVIOUS ROTATIONS BELOW THIS LINE ***
I thought it'd be fun to have a thread for building and sharing Random Standard decks, and possibly for coordinating some friendly competition if there's enough interest.
Each month I'll randomly generate a Random Standard card pool and update this thread with it. You're invited to theorize, share decks, challenge others, or contribute however you want. Because this is a Legacy site and we all like old cards, my algorithm has a bias towards older sets, as follows: Whenever I roll for a set or block, I roll the die twice and pick the older option. (For the February 2021 pool I happened to roll especially old sets, but on average it won't be like that.)
I'll decide on bans and announce the banned cards in each format rotation. Ante cards and dexterity cards are always banned.
