Make Standard Standard Again
Play by the rules?
Standard is 60 cards. So when I play standard, I expect to play someone with 60 cards. Can you tell me why I've run into players more often than not, with cards above 60? Explain to me how you're allowing decks to be used that have 260+ cards in their deck, but I can't used a card that's not "allowed" in standard and only in historic or timeless? Tell me how you can restrict the cards being used but not the volume? Please fix your game.

To Klayoric's point, no LGS I've ever played at would allow "jank towers" in any Standard tournament aside from an explicit "FNM Chaos" event, but Rezzahan is absolutely RAW spot-on. Not related, see my prior comment on his long-time undue credit on this forum.

Amen Ampersundae. Rezzahan should be paid for his time and expertise on this forum. I uninstalled Arena about a year ago and haven't been back to the forum for some months, but he's still here and still doing WotC's job pro bono.
Until WotC implements proper user support and player moderation, I won't be playing Arena again, BUT
if Rezzahan would setup a Patreon, I'd happily subscribe purely for the MTG rules/interaction expertise. -

Rezzahan dropping truth bombs all the time all the time around here. If only the actual company gave half the ***** he does about explaining basic rules.
Please fix this website and it's lack of ANY interaction from the company that supposedly runs it. He shouldn't have do do your job for you.
Come on, most companies have somebody doing what he does. Who knows and loves magic and keeps this website from being clogged up with the useless complaints. Give him a gold ******* star or something and try to be more like Rezzahan.
Be honest, you can afford to not let this website not turn in to an unmediated ***** fest.
It's a real bad look that an average player can run circles around Wizards and show everyone how much they're dropping the ball.

Then better update your totally flawed understanding of what Standard is. Standard is a constructed format with a MINIMUM deck size of 60 cards. There is NO UPPER LIMIT to the deck size. What defines Standard are the legal SETS, and it is only the most recent sets. (Though "recent" has become quite the stretch when the format was expanded to include 3 years worth of sets, and the number of sets per year almost doubled.)
Also, Arena does put an upper deck limit at 250 cards.
