Which cards are legal?

Card legality is set quarterly based on which cards are 2¢ or less at that time.
The best way to search legal cards is with Scryfall.

How do I find or brew a decklist?

Minimum 60 cards. Any number of basic lands. Max four of any other legal card. Sideboard of up to fifteen cards.

The best way to build decks is to use a search engine that supports Penny Dreadful legality (f:pd) like Scryfall.

What happens if a card goes above 2¢? How does rotation work? When is the next rotation? How long are cards legal for?

Legality is determined a week after the release of a Standard-legal set on Magic Online.

Prices are checked every hour for a week. Anything 2¢ or less for half or more of all checks is legal for the season.

Any version of a card on the legal cards list is legal.

The next rotation is in 4 days, 6 hours.

Congratulations to vagstor, winner of The Penny Dreadful 500 (Season 35)
