It is inevitable. Every time a new Banned and Restricted Announcement comes out, speculation runs rampant.

Ixalan is right around the corner, which means considering what cards will shine in the new, smaller Standard. Brian shares his picks for this week.

Which cards should we target that are rotating? Which cards remaining in Standard will be given new life? Adrian is here with the rundown.

Kyle is here to offer some targets and some warning on Hour of Devastation block cards.

Reserved List hype is getting old, but we haven't seen the last of the buyouts. Sig shares his strategy from the past couple weeks to get ahead of the buyouts and sell at a profit.

Standard rotation is a month away, and Adam explains how the new metagame will look.

Mike surveys some new decks that made an appearance in recent major events and considers some cards still flying under the radar for Standard play.
