This is meant to serve as a guide for what sets were in Standard together and when each rotated in/out, including any bans and restrictions that occurred during the process. Note that when a card rotates out, it is automatically unbanned and unrestricted. As such, if it is later reprinted in a future set, then it can be used once again, without restriction. For example, Darksteel Citadel, when first printed in Darksteel, was banned from Standard. When it was later reprinted in Magic 2015, it could be freely used again.
