Looking for help w/ deck and its legality

Standard Deck Help forum

Posted on July 20, 2017, 11:29 a.m. by OniOfTheWest

Hi, I recently posted one of my new decks, Esperian Zombie Apocalypse, and there's a lot of cards, all of which is from the new Hour of Devastation set, that is making the deck deemed "Standard Illegal." I can't cycle the deck anymore, which I believe the cause of this is the big problem it's having, and so I was hoping something can be done where the cards in this deck can be deemed Standard Legal.

I hope to hear some feedback soon, and I'll also have the deck where advice or suggestions can be created.

Thank you

The legality check only runs at the time the deck was created. Most likely, when you created your decks before HOU release, it technically was illegal. That should no longer be the case. If you go into the deck edit and save it again, it should appropriately change it to legal.

You can see examples of this when you look at "Standard" decks from a year or two ago that are no longer technically Standard, but since they have not been updated since that time, they still as show Standard legal.

As for your deck-cycling. I don't believe it's directly related. You may only cycle decks once every 24 hours as a standard member, and only three times every 24 hours as a contributing member (you made a donation to the site). Make sure you aren't exceeding your limit.

I actually made the deck a little while after the release, but I'll check into it.

And I see. Thank you for your help.

I am going to try to create another deck based off of it.

I don't think the Hour of Devastation cards have been classified as Standard legal in the system yet, as I can't make my current deck stop being "Prototype".
