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 next rotation is in 5 weeks, 5 days.
