===================================================
Standard Announcement (major changes)
On July 20, 2010, The M11 set will be released; SCRY is now incorporated into the core set, and the DEATHTOUCH mechanic has been updated...
Starting with M11, deathtouch no longer ignores blocking order in situations involving multiple blockers. Additionally, you only need to assign a single point of damage from a creature with deathtouch to each blocker, which makes deathtouch a potent combination with trample. A 4/4 with trample and deathtouch can assign one damage to a blocking 8/8 and the other 3 damage to the defending player. The full FAQ entry for deathtouch appears on the LINK below

18/06/2010 | ... so much for 'over extended'. What a complete 180n degree turnaboout to what players wanted. I think 1. Extended will become very popular as a serious replcement to Standard for most Grand Prix and weekend events
2. Standard will become the dominant FNM format, but the higher level GPTs and PTQs will likely not be Standard
3. The dominant Eternal Format will now be Legacy. Extended is no longer in conflict with this format. The DCi will now more closely scrutinise the banned list and ensure the format doesnt continue out-of-hand

18/06/2010 | Sounds to me like they're making room for Overextended to not be in conflict with any played formats tbh | Dave Robertshaw
19/06/2010 | I think Rob is correct, I can see Legacy being a real niche format, and SuperOverUber Extended will be the issue. |
