There will be no possible way to get runes from duplicates which will make crafting even more difficult.

The problem you're going to run into is that it will cost a lot to get new cards. If you restrict set for set, most people will have to collect duplicates for a very long time to see anything new. I think separating Standard and non-Standard is a good way to go, but anything currently in Standard should be able to be used for Standard.

babar3355 said: Even if they don't do set specific legacy blocks, it would be nice if you guys occasionally do some PvP events that allow the use of all cards. Don't get me wrong, I would love an old school tinykitty event where the only legal cards were Origins and the SOI block, but that's the ultimate dream. Simply having some competitive events that weren't restricted to current sets would be nice.
Brigby said: @PersonMan (Disclaimer: I am not a developer, therefore I am basing my following comments on personal analysis and information in the announcement)The biggest takeaway from the announcement, which I believe explains why only Amonkhet duplicates will provide "Standard" tokens, is the following quote:We also want to keep PvP competition fair for all players.While there are many players that decided to convert duplicates into runes, there are also many players that decided to stockpile their duplicates. The concern is that if duplicate cards from Origins, Kaladesh, and Aether Revolt (sets which were released much earlier than the Booster Crafting announcement) were allowed to be converted into "Standard tokens", then those players that hoarded would have an immediate higher advantage in the new PvP events. By limiting it to only Amonkhet duplicates, it eliminates that advantage.
