Wizards of the Coast is enriching the Standard format with Magic: The Gathering Foundations, a new type of set featuring reprints and new cards that remain legal within the Standard format longer than cards from regular Standard-legal sets.

Here's what we know about the new MTG set that should help new and returning players get into Standard Format gameplay.
The new Foundations set in MTG is like an evolved version of Core Sets, with a focus on making it easier for players to invest in the Standard format. Core Sets previously occupied a place within the normal Standard release schedule cadence, consisting mainly of reprints and some new cards. The Foundations set expands on these original themes via a Beginner and Starter Collection box.
Like Jumpstart products, the Beginner Foundations box is designed for new MTG players. The box contains 10 packs with 20 cards in each pack. For each of the five Magic mana colors (Colorless is not currently included), there are two booster packs with only one of the five colors. Players take two packs and shuffle them together to form a deck. Packs can be mixed and matched at will, and all cards are Standard-legal.
