Brawl Modified Metagame Challenge: A New Format for Brawlers
Calling all brawlers! We're holding another new Brawl Modified Metagame Challenge from January 26 through February 9. This event is the next iteration of our designers' exploration of a competitive Brawl format. This event removes many of the bans from the normal version of Brawl, but there are some cards that will be banned specifically for this version.
Alchemy: Lorwyn Eclipsed Arrives on February 3
Alchemy: Lorwyn Eclipsed releases on February 3! Our designers have crafted a new suite of MTG Arena-only cards that continue the tale of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor. More will be revealed prior to their release, but this week, we're excited to preview two cards that are coming to MTG Arena for the first time as part of this release. One is a mystifying creature born of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor's dark side, and the other is a silly goblin that steals goats. The Multiverse certainly is vast.
