As per one of the tips we get when waiting for a 'worthy opponent', the standard format is made up of the classic and basic cards plus the last 2 years of cards.
If Mean Streets of Gadgetzan is released in early December, which card sets would retire from the Standard format?
Best Answer
There won't be a rotation with Mean Streets of Gadgetsan. The standard format rotates with the first set of each year. So it will be rotating when the set after the next will be released. Then all sets of 2015 will rotate out at once (Blackrock Mountain, The Grand Tournament and League of Explorers).
