The list of cards being added to the Historic format in Arena includes Thalia, Guardian of Thraben, who also happens to be the feature card in a Secret Lair drop on March 12. For a period of 24 hours, collectors and players can purchase four copies of Thalia, Guardian of Thraben for $29.99 and receive a code for all four card styles in MTG Arena. Artwork for Thalia was illustrated by Magali Villeneuve and Johannes Voss.

With the release of Historic Anthology 2, the Ranked queue in best-of-one and best-of-three will return. And for players who missed Historic Anthology 1, WotC is selling both bundles in the Arena store.

  • Historic Anthology 2 bundle: 25,000 gold or 4,000 gems

Wildcards within MTG Arena will also unlock individual Historic format cards for those who don’t want to spend a bunch of money or are only seeking a few cards being offered. The Secret Lair drop and the 25 new cards being added to Historic will become available on March 12.
