Wow... So I guess people are not going to buy as much of each set because it wont be legal for long..?

Well, khans won't be legal for long, but after that they will still be legal for a decent amount of time I believe :p

I'm stoked: more sets to collect and less weaker cards aka draft trash

Hooray. We can finally get powerful standard rotations. Besides, I'm not against spending more money to get more cards that are more powerful

Sigh...that is not how it's going to work. Like MaRo said, you should probably read the whole article instead of skimming it.

Every time a new set comes out, rotation happens.  Not every expansion.

Not even! Did anyone read the article besides me?!

Did you watch the animation?

I read the ENTIRE article, I didn't just skim it and watch the animations. Rotation happens after every TWO sets, not 1.

Khans will be legal for 18 months...

Next fall when theros rotates out. Khans/duey will be in rotation for 6 more months.  It rotates out spring 2016.
Louie/ m16 rotate out fall 2016

Gocougs is right. Rotation everytime a new block comes out, not every set. That being said, two, two set blocks will come out every year, so rotation will happen twice a year.

I watched the animation it looked like we had a total of 3 blocks (6 sets total) legal before a rotation with the new plan.

Which is 1 set shy of standard normal (the missing core) and instead of a bunch of trash it's three different blocks of mechanics

It's up to 6 sets at a time, and as few as 5. We haven't seen this yet, but it may actually decrease the cost of Standard because of so many options, there will be less Goodstuff.dek and more top tier decks. That is if everything goes correctly
