Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Standard and Expanded Format Legal Card List Discussion

Sorry for the delay.
Catching up on work after Worlds.
I'll get the updates done this weekend.
My apologies.
 
So, as I did last September, I've gone ahead and provided a quick and easy guide to follow to update the Standard thread. Hopefully the powers that be will finally decide to update the Standard thread accordingly. It is even easier this time around since the rotation made it a clean break with regards to Pokémon and even most Supporters. So here goes my little guide.

I need to still review Celestial Storm to see which older Supporters are now legal for Standard play since there are a fair few, but this analysis should suffice for a first round of tweaks.


 
Just realised that this thread is possibly no longer looked at however it still stands in connection with the new legality page post. There are a few comments that I've made in my full summary that I will review and see how they track to the new post.

Will get back to you when I find anything out of order.
 
It is. ‘Pop has been super busy. He will “pop” back in when he can. :p
 
Thanks for the extended review!
I will take the time to go though it sometime this week.
Just got back from Philly Regionals.

A quick note now, though, I'm only going to be updating the "most recent reprint" tag when I'm touching that entry for other reasons.
It's more of an informational data point and not critical to identifying the legal cards to judges and players in the field.
But I will go though and add or delete entries as appropriate.
Thanks for your help.
