What happens if a card goes above 1¢? How does rotation work? When is the next rotation? How long are cards legal for?

Legality is determined at the release of a Standard-legal set on Magic Online.

Prices are checked every hour for a week. Anything 1c or less for half or more of all checks is legal for the season.

Cards from the just-released set are added (nothing removed) a couple of weeks later via a supplemental rotation after prices have settled a little.

Any version of a card on the legal cards list is legal.

The supplemental rotation is in 1 week, 3 days (The next full rotation is in 14 weeks, 3 days).
