Well, the question is straightforward I guess. Since I'm new to Arena, I'm not sure whether this button will let me play my current deck after the cards get out of standard or not, you know, just like a casual game.

EDIT: The play button I'm referring to is the mode "Play". Sorry for the bad formatting of the question.

Hello hrmello, Welcome to MTG Arena!

If you want to just play a casual game, "Play" mode is the place to go. Depending on the format of your deck, it will automatically match you against other Standard or Historic decks. It's also *usually* not as competitive as Ranked mode - we match players on their play history and the strength of cards in their deck - but we don't stop people from playing whatever they want.
