~Vintage~
What is Vintage? - The Vintage format allows players to use cards from every Magic set in existence. You can play with cards from the very first release of Limited Edition (Alpha) in 1993, all the way up to the sets you can buy right now at your local retailer! Because so many cards are available for play in the format, Vintage offers some of the game's most powerful deckbuilding options.

~Legacy~

What is Legacy? - The Legacy format is Vintage with a twist. While all Magic: The Gathering sets are legal in Legacy, just as they are in Vintage, some specific cards are prohibited from play in the format. This creates an entirely different flavor for the format and offers up new creative challenges for players building decks for Legacy competition. Not quite Vintage and not quite Extended, the Legacy format is truly a unique experience for Magic fans.

~Extended~

What is Extended? - The Extended format includes all of the sets legal in the Standard format plus several years worth of earlier cards. As of July 1, 2010, the Extended format will include all core sets from Tenth Edition forward and expansions from the past four years' worth of blocks, giving the format a feel and flavor all its own.

~Standard~

What is Standard? - The Standard format uses only the newest sets the game has to offer. The current block, the block that was released the previous October, and the most recent core set are all legal to play in a Standard deck. As you can tell from the name, Standard is the most commonly played format. Standard events are available year round at retailers and tournament venues worldwide, offering new players a great opportunity to enjoy a tournament setting with the cards they've recently purchased.

~Block Constructed~

What is Block Constructed? - The Block Constructed format uses only the cards from a single block of Magic sets. Block Constructed formats generally take their name from the first set in the block. For example, the Time Spiral, Planar Chaos, and Future Sight sets make up the Time Spiral block. The smaller card pool of Block Constructed poses an interesting challenge for players. It also provides an opportunity to enjoy the setting of one of the Multiverse's planes in a focused environment.
