      The paper Khenra doesn't stack with every other Keherna token, so it's actually +4/+4 (eternalized strength).  And yes, the Eternalize cards tend to do "1" or "2" "somethings" when hand cast and then "4" of those when cast from the graveyard.
      In paper it works with your glorious anthems or giant growths cast in response to pump trigger. Which means it is not quiet 1/2 something or 4 when eternalized. 
      The most common example of a card working like this is eternalized champion of wits which draws you 5 cards if you have angel of invention in play.

      Dev do not have to follow the same convention as real  MTG. This is unrealistic since real MTG will be around for many years to come compared to this digital version. Therefore, they should make their own rules. They can remove any set from standard whenever they see fit.
      They have some liberties regarding how close they have to follow the paper version from what I understand, but not all that much.

      Oktagon replied on a question in the december FAQ about standard rotation. It wasn't exactly as I wrote but this:

      What does the future of Standard set rotation look like?
      Until the release of the set following Ixalan, the collections in Standard will be: Origins, Kaladesh, Aether Revolt, Amonkhet, Hour of Devastation, and Ixalan.

      If that translates to KAL and AER being removed as soon as Dominaria drops then it would mean that AKH will be around until the next block after Dominaria comes out. Unless they remove more than one block in the rotation.

      That's about what they did when they introduced Standard, dropping BFZ and SOI blocks at the same time, so it's not out of the question that they could drop 2 blocks at once if they chose to do so. I think it's unlikely, but it's possible especially with all the outcry lately recommending nerfs.

      Maybe they will keep KAL and AER and drop AKH and HOR when Dominaria is released due to the calls to nerf cycling.

      You know something is off when every third deck you face in a legacy event is dropping Drake havens . Cycling is like playing a game using console commands . Cycling decks can easily win within 5 turns and facing a cycling deck means that you're going to have an incredibly annoying match ahead, but you legitimately can't lose . The game is easy enough without cycling. Cycling completely removes all skill from the equation. Np, haven , 8 random cycling cards . That's a precon. That is terrible for the game.
