What's in Standard?

What's in Standard? is a simple reference page made to help new (or not new) Magic: The Gathering players easily check which sets are currently in Standard, see when the next rotation is going to happen, and understand how rotations work.

Development

Dependencies

Running it locally

git clone [email protected]:glacials/whatsinstandard
cd whatsinstandard
yb build
yb exec

Then open localhost:8080 in your browser!

Updating set information

If you're looking to add, remove, or change a set, you'll want to change api/internal.json then run

yb build

to regenerate the API. This file is the source of truth for set information, as the website itself consumes the APIs generated from this file.

Updating set icons

Set icons are supplied by Keyrune. If a new set icon is not showing or is invalid, you just need to update Keyrune:

npm update keyrune

Any pull requests that simply update Keyrune are welcomed and will be accepted!

Tests

The API has a few tests. They run on build, but you can run them separately with

yb build test

To autorun them whenever test files update, use

npm run autotest

Tech

What's in Standard? uses Vue.js, a lightweight JavaScript framework. It fetches the setlist from its own API and filters it based on release and drop dates.

API

We've got an API. It's super slim and the output is written by hand but it works like a charm.

/api/v6/standard.json

This is the only API call we have. It returns something like this:

{
  "deprecated": false,
  "sets": [
    {
      "name": "Kaladesh",
      "codename": "Lock",
      "code": "KLD",
      "symbol": {
        "common": "http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?type=symbol&size=large&rarity=C&set=KLD",
        "uncommon": "http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?type=symbol&size=large&rarity=U&set=KLD",
        "rare": "http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?type=symbol&size=large&rarity=R&set=KLD",
        "mythicRare": "http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?type=symbol&size=large&rarity=M&set=KLD"
      },
      "enterDate": {
        "exact": "2016-09-30T00:00:00.000"
      },
      "exitDate": {
        "exact": "2018-10-05T00:00:00.000",
        "rough": "Q4 2018"
      }
    },
    ...
  ],
  "bans": [
    {
      "cardName": "Rampaging Ferocidon",
      "cardImageUrl": "https://img.scryfall.com/cards/large/en/xln/154.jpg?1527429722",
      "setCode": "XLN",
      "reason": "Banned for being too effective a shutdown against counters to aggressive red (filling the board with small creatures and gaining life).",
      "announcementUrl": "https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/january-15-2018-banned-and-restricted-announcement-2018-01-15"
    },
    ...
  ]
}

The array is guaranteed to contain all sets currently in Standard, but also contains recently dropped sets and some future sets. For API details including how to filter them, see the API readme.
