Standard Competitive Forum Rules In addition to these rules, please read the General Forum Rules, which applies here as well. Violations of the forum rules will result in warnings or infractions, and may also result in removal from the Standard Competitive usergroup.
Budget discussion is strictly forbidden. The objective here is to come up with the best possible deck, and any sort of budget talk only hampers that development. For the sake of the discussion, please pretend that you have all the required cards for the deck in question. Budget discussion is, for this forum, defined as any card availability issues whatsoever, regardless of the value of the rest of the deck in question (if applicable).
Anti-competitive discussion is prohibited. This includes complaints about netdecking, promotion of cards for reasons other than their playability, and suggesting objectively inferior decks and cards.
Do not post decklist threads in this forum. This isn't the forum for decklist discussion; please use the appropriate subforum for that. Decklist threads will be closed.
Discussion of spoiled cards must be confined to the Standard New Card Discussion subforum. New sets are okay to discuss in the rest of the Standard forum the moment Wizards has published the entire spoiler. Post-rotation discussion is also not permitted until the new block has been fully spoiled.
Functional deck tags are required.This thread explains how to use deck/card tags.
Do not copy and paste deck lists from MWS, as they do not work within deck tags.
For Single Card Discussions (SCD), using card tags is mandatory.

You can change the title of your own threads by using the "edit"-button, then "Go Advanced". So if you forgot to add thread tags to your thread, or you used the wrong tags, you can correct this yourself.
Check our pinned threads. For example, don't post a thread asking which deck to run, post in this thread instead.
Doubleposting, provided it isn't spam, is allowed. That said, we encourage you to please use the "edit"-button in the lower-right corner.
If you want to quote multiple posts, use the multi-quote feature.
Posting just to bump threads is not okay, regardless of how much time has passed.
Excessive multiposting is considered poor internet etiquette.
