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.[1] Some were nostalgia plays, some were fun build-arounds to enable new archetypes, and some were powerful new tools.[2]

Later addition

  • Rhys the Redeemed was added for play in both Brawl and Historic on December 12, 2019 in celebration of the Brawlidays event.[3]

II

Historic Anthology II added 25 new cards to MTG Arena on March 12, 2020.[4] Among those 25 new cards is the powerful two-drop Thalia, Guardian of Thraben. On the same day that Thalia joined Historic, players could order the special Secret Lair Drop Series: Thalia - Beyond the Helvault.

III

Historic Anthology III added 27 new cards to MTG Arena on May 21, 2020.[5][6]

IV

Historic Anthology IV added 25 new cards to MTG Arena on March 11, 2021.[7][8] This was some weeks before the Kaldheim Championship, in which the players would compete with the updated Historic format.

V

Historic Anthology V will add 25 new cards to MTG Arena on May 27, 2021.[9]
