@SoftestSapphic @lorty For all 17 sets that are in standard or for each set as it is added?
There are definitely *too* many sets in standard. And premium sets should never be standard legal (that is one of the biggest mistakes of adding UB to standard).
The quotes from today's earning call have small upsides, but are a certainty that WotC aren't going to change what they are going to do. FF selling at launch more than LotR did in X months is going to ensure they keep doing them. The upside is they confirmed they are going to keep printing FF to meet demand (presumably while it is in standard), which should help keep the sales rush for sets to a minimum.
