Non-Standard Cards in Standard Ranked
Dear Wizards/MTG Arena
Please can you remove non standard cards from Standard Ranked matches. I believe if the name of the game mode is "Standard Ranked", players should be playing Standard legal decks. If I see my opponent is using one of these cards, I take a screenshot of the card and auto concede as I want to play standard games, not historic. As a result, my rank has gone down dramatically, causing me to be playing against players more likely to be running these cards, and so am stuck in a downward spiral.
I understand new players need cards to make a deck with, that is not my issue. My issue is with these cards being used in a "Standard Ranked" match. I prefer playing best of 1 rather than best of 3 but there is currently nowhere on MTG Arena to play a standard best of 1 match. Please make a seperate best of 1 ranked standard game mode where only Standard cards are legal (traditional standard as its called on Arena).
I really enjoy playing Magic and MTGA has been great for the most part. It's a shame that something so simple to fix or implement is ruining my experience to such a great extent.
Here is a list of the cards (there may be more) and some screenshots of them being used in Standard Ranked gameplay from the last 2 weeks:

I think those are core cards. They are valid in all format

I have been seeing the same - and it is quite ridiculous to see M19 cards in a standard ranked game - Leonin War Leader specifically.
It does not show that I can have the card in any of my standards - so I want to know why this glitch - or cheat - is still occuring.
Since Shadrix is not fixed yet - your bug clearing department is getting farther and farther behind.
