What sets are legal and is there a banned/restricted list?

From the format guide, here at magic-league:

Make Your Own Standard
In MYOS, you build your own Standard environment (two blocks and one core set) and build a deck out of the cards in those sets. It's important to realize that you do not need to choose two consecutive blocks; any two blocks along with any core set from 5th Edition onwards are a fair game. Core sets are limited to 5th Edition and forward due to the fact that the original duals are a bit too good for MYOS. This means you get to combine Ice Age and Lorwyn with 7th Edition, or Onslaught, Ravnica and 5th. Of course, the format contains some unfair cards so bannings are in effect; everything that's banned either in Legacy or in a Block is banned in MYOS (you'll find the B&R lists here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=judge/resources/banned). In other words, Cursed Scroll, artifact lands, Lin Sivvi et co. are banned because they are banned in their respective blocks, while Necropotence, Demonic Consultation, Mind's Desire et co. are banned because they're banned in Legacy.
