'''King Standard''' | '''King Standard''' is a historical [[format]] that includes all of the sets up to the seventh set, [[The Return of the King]]. It's a snapshot of [[Standard]] immediately before the release of [[Siege of Gondor]] in March 2004. As such, it includes the first two waves of additions to the [[X-List]], and uses the [[Site#List of King Block Sites|King Block site path]], albeit without the sites from Siege of Gondor or [[Mount Doom]]. Ring-bearer [[Skirmish Cancellation|skirmishes can be cancelled]] in King Standard as that rule had not yet been introduced, but {{Card|Curse Them}} is the only legal card capable of doing so. It's a somewhat nonstandard format, supported mainly on [[GEMP]] and [[The Last Homely House]] forums. ([[mLOTRO]] has a similar format, called "Early King Standard", that includes sets 1-8.) | ||
King Standard is one of several historical standard formats. It follows after [[Fellowship Block]], which includes sets 1-3, and [[Towers Standard]], which includes sets 1-6 and is a snapshot of Standard at the end of [[Tower Block]]. Unlike those formats, the snapshot comes in the middle of [[King Block]], after one set of three. The historical standard format that includes all of King Block is the more-popular, somewhat confusingly-named [[Movie Block]], which includes the first ten sets. | |||
[https://lotrtcgwiki.com/forums/index.php/topic,11423.0.html | Sets [[Siege of Gondor|eight]], [[Reflections|nine]], and [[Mount Doom|ten]] are omitted from King Standard because [https://lotrtcgwiki.com/forums/index.php/topic,11423.0.html players felt] that cards added in the three omitted sets suffered from unacceptable [[power creep]], or that they would rather not play with the alternate [[Ring-bearer]]s first introduced in set 9, [[Reflections]]. | ||
