What happens if a card goes above 2¢? How does rotation work? When is the next rotation? How long are cards legal for?

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

Prices are checked every hour for a week. Anything 2¢ or less for half or more of all checks is legal for the season.

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

The next rotation is in 13 weeks, 5 days.
