Non Standard Tutorial Cards In Standard Ranked
I have played at least three ranked standard games today where at non standard cards were played. Once was the card Murder and the other two times it was Unsummon. If you go into deck builder and select standard for your deck and for the card search these two will not appear. Yet somehow cards that aren't standard and are tutorial cards are able to be played in standard ranked. This is completely unacceptable and you all need to fix this. In my eyes and in many others this is blatant cheating. These people who are doing this know exactly what they are doing and I am pretty sure you all at WoTC know this is going on. In short FIX IT!

I don't care if they play these decks in historic, but get them out of the standard queue. It is not proper when cards rotate out of standard, that they are still allowed in the standard battles for ranking.

I couldn't possibly agree with you more. These people at WOTC need to fix it now. It's not legal irl so it shouldn't be in Arena. Enough is enough. I am so beyond salty, I'm turning into the mineral itself.

I think if you do a set rotation, and cards are no longer standard, they should not be playable in standard matches on arena. For example Leonin warleader is no longer listed as standard, but I keep running into the priest decks from several seasons ago. Make up some new preset decks if you must, but "standard" should match live play.

I just had this myself and made a post about it. I dropped Tiamat to hopefully swing the battle in my favor and he just nuked it off the board with Murder. It's really frustrating to go against non-standard cards with a standard deck.

I keep losing rank by getting beat from Non-Standard format cards. I can play everything right, but get blown out by something like Epic Proportions! Using cards in standard ranked that are meant for casual play is unfair and cheating.

I reported a similar bug days ago and I thought it was by chance, but apparently it is not. Again I faced in standard event someone running this time a LOT of illegal cards (see the screenshots). It seems some players are aware of the issue and are abusing it. (all these cards seem to have the MTG arena symbol).
I noticed that when attempting to make a deck with those cards the game allows it for standard but NOT for traditional standard. Also note that the card itself does not need to have the Arena symbol but as long as it has a version with that symbol it works. (I checked this as deck construction + I faced another opponent using an M19 card after the game I realized it does indeed have a version with the Arena symbol)

I have played multiple standard ranked games where a non-standard legal card (Leonin Warleader both times) was cast by my opponent. Can you please tell me why this is happening since the card is not currently legal in standard?

I come up against opponents doing this regularly. I just played against a mono red goblin deck using exclusively tutorial cards and it just felt so unfair. When I click to play a standard ranked match, I expect my opponent to be using a standard deck as well, not having to play against non-standard cards which, in certain situations, can swing the tide of the entire game. This bug often ruins my experience playing on Arena and it needs to be dealt with as soon as possible or Arena may lose a large number of players who want to play fair standard games but can't.
