Historic Anthology

Historic Anthology is a series of releases exclusive to Magic Arena. Cards released via an Historic Anthology become legal in the Historic format.

I
The first Historic Anthology added 20 new cards to MTG Arena on November 21, 2019. The cards were meant to expand the format in interesting ways. Some were nostalgia plays, some were fun build-arounds to enable new archetypes, and some were powerful new tools.
