When you attempt to buy packs, craft a card, or purchase a card style for cards that are rotating out, the game will give you a reminder that these cards will soon rotate, and we will ask if you still want to complete the transaction. You can still redeem Wildcards and purchase packs from the rotating sets, but there will be an in-game reminder and confirmation message to let players know that the card is due to be rotated out soon. Cards from rotating sets will be added to Historic ICRs.

Players will no longer receive ICRs from sets that will be rotating out of Standard from daily wins or Standard events. This is in addition to the usual addition of new packets that will feature content from Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate. Packets using themes from the rotating sets will be retired, while remaining packets will be revised to contain only cards that won’t be rotating out. The packets in the Jump In! event will also be rehauled for the new year. Quick Draft players will be playing and collecting only cards that can continue to be used in Alchemy or Standard in the fall. Quick Draft and Sealed events will use sets starting from Innistrad: Midnight Hunt forward. There will be not be any scheduled Limited events (Draft or Sealed) for sets rotating out of Standard.
