Standard

The flagship rotating format. The card pool is the two non-rotating Core Sets (System Gateway and Elevation) plus the most recent complete cycles — currently Ashes, Borealis, Liberation, and the newest release, Vantage Point. When a new cycle completes, the oldest cycle in the pool rotates out. Uses a simple ban list (currently 19 Corp and 13 Runner cards banned) rather than a points system.
