    Is it possible for Magic 2014 to have any reprinted cards from the Innistrad Block?

    Quote from Dire Wombat
    Sets only ever leave Standard once per year: in the fall, on the day the first set of the new block becomes legal. That set enters Standard, and the entirety of the oldest Standard block (this year that will be Innistrad block) rotates out, along with the older core set (Magic 2013).

    For the rest of the year, nothing leaves Standard, and new sets are added as they are released.

    Okay, so on release, Magic 2014 will NOT be playable in Standard until the first new Block set in the fall?

    Also, Return to Ravnica Block will still be playable?

    From what I understand, the current legal sets are

    Core:
    Magic 2013

    Block 1:
    Innistrad
    Dark Ascension
    Avacyn Restored

    Block 2:
    Return to Ravnica
    Gatecrash
    Dragon's Maze

    What happens when Magic 2014 is released in July? On release day does that mean that Magic 2014 is the new core set that replaces Magic 2013 on that day or is it not playable until the first new Block Set starts in the Fall?

    Also, when the first new Block set is released in the Fall, will "Return to Ravnica" Block be considered "Block 1" and still be playable for Standard until a second Block set is released? Or does "Return to Ravnica" Block fall off with "Innistrad" Block?
