The '''2014 Virtual Card Pool Reset''' (also called the Reset of Standard Format) was a Players Committee decision to '''reset''' the SWCCG virtual card pool rather than apply a cleanup / mass errata. Primary PC announce: ''Reset of Standard Format'', byline '''July 25th, 2014''' (Advocate Council / darkjediknight11).<ref name="reset-announce">[http://web.archive.org/web/20141020142523id_/http://www.starwarsccg.org/wp/reset-of-standard-format/ Reset of Standard Format] (Wayback id_ capture of starwarsccg.org/wp/reset-of-standard-format/), byline July 25th, 2014</ref> Follow-up legal lists: ''PDF of Reset List Posted — Virtual Set 0 and Virtual Set 1 Preview'', byline '''September 25th, 2014'''.<ref name="reset-pdf">[http://web.archive.org/web/20141009180356id_/http://www.starwarsccg.org/wp/pdf-of-reset-list-posted-virtual-set-0-and-virtual-set-1-preview/ PDF of Reset List Posted — Virtual Set 0 and Virtual Set 1 Preview] (Wayback id_ capture), byline September 25th, 2014</ref>

This is a '''fan encyclopedia''' summary of those sourced posts. It does not invent card lists, exact Worlds mini-set titles, or Decipher product changes.

== Why reset (vs cleanup) ==

The Advocates weighed a '''cleanup''' (surgical errata / scrap of problem cards) against a '''complete reset''' (trim virtual cards to a small base set). They unanimously chose reset, citing among other points: one PDF of legal V text (simpler than remembering mass errata), past problems with mass-errata style changes, volunteer/design opportunity with a smaller pool, realism for casual time budgets, and a more comprehensive fix than a “band-aid.”<ref name="reset-announce" />

== Base set and text rule ==

* Base set intended '''roughly 75 cards per side'''.<ref name="reset-announce" />
* Primary rule for the base set: virtual cards that can go in a '''reserve deck''' do '''not''' change game text (“If you know a card now, you will know the card post-Reset”).<ref name="reset-announce" />
* September 25 follow-up: cards in [[Virtual Set 0]] (Base Set) were unchanged from pre-reset versions '''except some tweaked Defensive Shields'''; Virtual Set 1 Preview cards had various minor tweaks.<ref name="reset-pdf" />

== Formats: Standard and Legacy ==

* New '''Standard''' = post-reset Virtual cards (new graphical V-set icon planned; existing slips still usable for cards that remained legal).<ref name="reset-announce" />
* New '''Legacy''' format = all '''pre-Reset''' Virtual cards in a Master Legacy PDF (fixed pool unless later D&D support for Legacy balance).<ref name="reset-announce" /><ref name="reset-pdf" />
* VS0 + VS1 Preview PDFs were '''legal immediately''' for Standard sanctioned play (Sep 25 post).<ref name="reset-pdf" />
* See also [[Formats]].

== What was not changed ==

* '''No plans to touch Decipher cards or Decipher rules''' at that time.<ref name="reset-announce" />
* '''No set rotation''' after Reset (survey-driven).<ref name="reset-announce" />

== Packaging: blocks → V0 then V1 ==

Advocates planned to revert to a '''single set''' format instead of blocks: base set '''V0''', then starting over at '''V1'''.<ref name="reset-announce" /> On this wiki those hubs are [[Virtual Set 0]] and [[Virtual Set 1]] (Current Virtual / post-Reset).

== 9.2 not in then-current form ==

The same July 25 announce stated '''9.2 will not be released in its current form''', with a plan for a mini ~12-card Worlds set instead, and intern work remolded later.<ref name="reset-announce" /> Details and open gaps: [[Cancelled Virtual Sets#V-set / Virtual Block 9.2|Cancelled Virtual Sets]] (do not invent a second Polish cancelled VS from this note).

== Timeline notes (sourced) ==

* July 25, 2014 — PC Reset announce byline.<ref name="reset-announce" />
* Preliminary base list / public-by-Aug-1 and beta at Worlds Toronto + European Championship were stated as plans in that announce (not re-verified here as separate live pages).<ref name="reset-announce" />
* September 25, 2014 — VS0 + VS1 Preview PDFs posted; immediately legal for Standard.<ref name="reset-pdf" />

== Secondary: Category One date note ==

Category One Games summarized the Reset and wrote that the PC announced on '''July 14''' (year implied 2014 from context), with Set 0 ~150 cards (75/side) at then-current text, Set 1 powered-down key cards, and Legacy keeping then-current Vs.<ref name="c1g">[https://blog.categoryonegames.com/resetting-star-wars-ccg/ Resetting Star Wars CCG], Category One Games</ref> Prefer the PC byline '''July 25th, 2014''' for the announce date. The C1G “July 14” figure is noted as a '''secondary discrepancy'''; this page does not invent which calendar day is “correct” beyond citing both.

== Contrast with Decipher cancellations ==

[[Cancelled Expansions]] covers Decipher products that never shipped. The Reset is a Players Committee '''virtual pool''' change, not a Decipher expansion cancellation. Unreleased Virtual product notes (Galaxy at War; 9.2 wording): [[Cancelled Virtual Sets]].
