Let me fetch the Standard format meta changes and find the Secrets of Strixhaven release date first!
Hmm, I don't see a "Secrets of Strixhaven" set in the Standard meta changes list. This set doesn't appear to be tracked in the database for Standard. It's possible the set isn't yet released or isn't tracked under that name. Let me double-check by searching for it in the sets table directly!
Found it! Secrets of Strixhaven (SOS) releases April 24, 2026 — that's in 4 days from today (April 20, 2026). It's not yet in the meta changes list, but I can compare the Standard meta right now (pre-release) vs. after it drops. Let me pull the current meta snapshot and get you the pre-release picture now!
