Magic has announced that Standard and normal block structure are changing in fall of 2015.

The article explains the motivations behind the change, and the problems that they've had for years (that people paying attention would have heard brought up again and again) that these changes will fix.
It's things like this that make Magic deserve the success that it has. It never becomes complacent with problems and always seeks to improve itself every year.
I must say, I wonder how the game will feel without core sets. I never bothered with them at first, but now I've since grown to liking them, after the cool stuff they've been doing with them. I wonder how they'll treat the final one. You can assume they'll try to go out with a bang.
