Historic Horizons utilizes its digital-only nature beyond these three recurring mechanics as well, with WotC saying it makes it possible to print cards with rules that wouldn’t fit in a paper frame. This can include cards that aren’t otherwise in a set or format, with a few examples of this in the gallery above being Ponder, Stormfront Pegasus, and Tropical Island (none of which are collectible in Historic Horizons on their own). The third digital-only mechanic is called “ Conjure,” which creates a card for you to use out of nowhere – not a token or a copy, but an actual card that can sit in your hand until you are ready to use it. While this is an effect that can more reasonably be tracked with paper cards, it becomes substantially simpler in a digital space.

That could be a card like Davriel’s Withering, which perpetually gives a creature -1/-2 – if that card reduces a creature to 0 toughness or less and sends it to the graveyard, for example, the debuff will remain in effect even if a player is able to bring it back to battlefield (causing it to immediately die again).Īlternatively, Lumbering Lightshield can perpetually increase the casting cost of a card in your opponent’s hand by one colorless mana – the affected card then maintains that increase whether it’s cast from hand or somewhere else, like from the graveyard with Flashback or from exile with Foretell. The next mechanic is called “ Perpetually,” which modifies a specific card permanently, even as it enters other zones of play. Certain cards (like Manor Guardian, visible in the gallery above) will allow you to seek a card with specific criteria, randomly pulling one from your library that meets that criteria without shuffling afterward – something that couldn’t happen at the tabletop without a player manually looking through their deck. The first of these mechanics is called “ Seek,” which is a digital twist on a tutor effect. Jumpstart: Historic Horizons' Digital-First Mechanics Explained These cards will include three new mechanics with “digital-first” designs that cannot not be replicated in paper Magic. While a majority of the cards in Historic Horizons will be reprints – most of which are new to Arena, including many cards from both the first and second Modern Horizons sets – the 31 brand new cards will be exclusive to Arena’s digital platform.

Look for the set symbol (middle-right area of the card) and use the following table to look up the corresponding edition name. To look up your Magic cards you need to know the edition name (not printed on the card). This makes it hard to look them up online. Unlike other types of cards people collect, Magic cards don’t have a unique number printed on them.
