Main problem with the deck is that most of the cards in it aren't standard legal anymore.

Standard Legal??

Standard Format Deck Construction

Why did they remove that whole entire expansion?

]The Standard format uses only the newest sets the game has to offer. The current block, the block that was released the previous October, and the most recent core set are all legal to play in a Standard deck. As you can tell from the name, Standard is the most commonly played format. Standard events are available year round at retailers and tournament venues worldwide, offering new players a great opportunity to enjoy a tournament setting with the cards they've recently purchased.[/QUOTE]This is how Wizards of the Coast makes their money selling cards. If you want to play in this format they make you have to buy new cards every two years, because the old sets rotate out of Standard at that time.

There are other formats where you can still use your older cards, though. You can find them here.
