MTG Arena Announcements, June 22, 2022
Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate Preorders Begin Tomorrow!
Preorders begin tomorrow, June 23, for the exciting new set Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate, which includes new cards, cards from Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur’s Gate, plus common and uncommon reprints from Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms that bring in even more D&D flavor.
You'll also find new mechanics that bring the flavor of Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate to MTG Arena:
- Specialize – Pay mana and discard a color/land type of your choice to change your card to that new card with its effects (the change depends on which color you discarded).
- Double team – When a creature with double team attacks, if it's not a token, conjure a duplicate of the original into your hand, and then both cards lose double team.
- Boon – A new-to-MTG Arena mechanic, not exclusive to the Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate set, boon is a way to represent delayed triggers, similar to an emblem, but once they trigger, they disappear.
