Wizards announced new efforts to promote Standard play that start next year. Some highlights:

  • Special promos for new weekly Standard events at LGSs
  • $75k Standard Open at MagicCon Chicago, which is "the first large, open field Standard tournament in quite some time"
  • Pro Tour Outlaws of Thunder Junction (second PT in 2024) will be Standard

It seems to me that a healthy paper standard scene would be very healthy for the game. They'd then focus more on good standard sets maybe instead of all these UB, modern horizons and Commander sets. And this would be healthy for eternal play as well as modern.
