MTG GOLDFISH STANDARD STORM ARCHIVE

Strixhaven's Mystical Archive included three Storm cards as well, allowing them to be used in Limited-format Strixhaven games without disrupting the power level of Standard format. Īmong subsequent Standard-legal sets, Thousand-Year Storm from Guilds of Ravnica references Storm by providing a version of the original ability restricted to instants and sorceries, and only the ones cast by a spell's controller, a pattern continued in Strixhaven: School of Mages with Show of Confidence. Īt the same time, Storm itself was well-remembered by enfranchised players, and has continued to appear in small quantities in supplemental sets for that audience, starting with one card in each of Commander, Unstable and Modern Horizons. In a later breakdown of the scale, Rosewater wrote that mechanics rated the maximum of 10, including Storm itself, would require a 'major miracle' to be reprinted in Standard.

The Storm Scale has been heavily used since then to rate the likelihood of return of many mechanics and themes. I never say never but there would have to be a pretty strong reason to bring storm back.' I’ve compared the mechanic to a dysfunctional relationship where R&D keeps thinking that this time things will be different. 'Storm is probably the most broken mechanic we’ve ever created and it’s caused problems every time we’ve brought it back. Storm is a mechanic I don’t want to bring back more than other mechanics that also shouldn’t come back.' 'Note that the Storm scale isn’t if they will actually return, it’s a scale of what I as Head Designer am willing and not willing to bring back. This led him to create the Storm Scale, as he considered Storm so broken that it was judged the least likely mechanic to ever return to Standard format. In 2012, five years after last being used in a Standard-legal set, head designer Mark Rosewater received a question asking him to rate the chance of another mechanic returning 'on a scale of storm-10'.

Storm was introduced as a major keyword in Scourge, then returned on several cards in Time Spiral block.
