Edge of Eternities Prepatch and Release

0048_MTGEOE_Main: Cerebral Download

Major set releases on MTG Arena come in two parts, with a prepatch releasing a week before the full set release. What does this mean? You'll be able to see all the upcoming Edge of Eternities cards in the MTG Arena client starting July 25, but you won't be able to interact with the cards until August 1.

With Edge of Eternities now fully revealed, we are also announcing some pre-emptive bans coming to MTG Arena. Please see the list of cards being banned, as well as the rationale behind the decisions below.

Historic

  • Ancient Tomb is banned.
  • Strip Mine is banned.
  • Magus of the Moon is banned.

Timeless

  • No changes

Brawl

  • No changes

These bans are consistent with our philosophy for Historic; preventing fast mana and land destruction, which tends to limit viable strategies in the format. On the other hand, Timeless will likely see a considerable shakeup with Strip Mine coming.

We will keep a close eye on the effects of powerful cards like Strip Mine and Ancient Tomb on both Timeless and Brawl in the weeks following release and take additional action as needed.
