    Expanded out of Beta and add Legacy mode!? 100% not happening this year bro

    they said full Expanded format was a priority a year ago and absolutely nothing has changed on that front! now you think they will come up with not only Expanded plus an Legacy mode? you 're tripping bro

    I think it is deliberate to keep everyone on the Standard hamster wheel. I think if most TCG companies had their way we would throw out our collections every year and buy new cards.

    Older, rotated cards need to go somewhere. Cards, virtual or physical, need some potential utility and value beyond their Standard lifespan. Otherwise I think they will quickly find that players will drop the game en masse.

    Legacy would be great, but they can't even manage Expanded right now. I think they should prioritise that so that the majority of older sets from Online are usable.
