After casting off the idea of a "season" of events where Grad Prix, Magic Fests and local events no longer paralleled one another in terms of format nor paralleled the Pro Tour or Mythic Championship that capped the current quarter, WotC brought us some interesting news.

Currently scheduled, after the Pioneer Regionals and Pro Tour, the next capstone events will be Standard. And thus we seem to be returning back to format seasonality.

This week we discuss the kind of foundation this sets for both vendors and LGS alike, event scheduling for both, and what we hope for moving forward as WotC continues to announce "end of season" events.
