I[ | ]

The first Historic Anthology (set code: AHA1) added 20 new cards to MTG Arena on November 21, 2019. The cards were meant to expand the format in interesting ways.[2] Some were nostalgia plays, some were fun build-around cards to enable new archetypes, and some were powerful new tools.[3]. Set
