      For all intents and purposes, LotR is essentially a premier set. It had a pre-release, its draftable, it has multiple booster styles, it replaced the launch slot which would otherwise have been a premier set… we’re just splitting hairs now. The fact it’s not standard legal really doesn’t mean anything anymore.

        But Standard legal is literally the definition of a Premier Set. They literally just changed the name of “Standard Set” to “Premier Set” its the same concept. Now as standard becomes less popular standard legality becomes less important and we are starting to see “supplemental” sets be treated with major focus, but in a world where MH2 and LOTR are the two best selling sets I think that shift was inevitable.

            They used to call them “Standard Sets” but they stopped because I think they thought that sent the message they were only for standard players. I do agree “Standard legal sets” is more accurate, though it is a mouth full.
