KHM digital release

Packed with tribal-themes like Gods, Angels, Elves, and Dwarves, KHM has a digital release scheduled to take place on Jan. 28 via MTG Arena and Magic Online. An early access KHM streaming event will likely take place on Jan. 27, although Wizards of the Coast hasn’t confirmed the date at time of writing. 

Prior to the digital release of KHM within MTG Arena, there are two pre-order bundles players can purchase from the MTGA store. The set will also contain a free-to-play Set Mastery and Mastery Pass rewards that you’ll need to pay for.
