Oh hey! Thanks for this. Any chance historic brawl could get a chance at them?

Yes, Historic Brawl will get them alongside normal Historic.

Now the real question, do those fancy cards go to arena and would they be historic legal?

All of the Mystic Archive cards will be on Arena and available in Strixhaven draft. A small number won’t be legal in Historic for power level reasons; the vast majority will be playable in Historic.

Hey folks! We shared this on Twitter already, but I wanted to iterate some things that we didn't get quite right in our stream today:
1. Mystical Archive cards are a bonus card in each draft booster and set booster. They DON'T replace another card of the same rarity in a pack. So you can get multiple rare cards in a draft booster!
2. While some of the Mystical Archive cards are reprints of things previously at common (like Opt), the Archive only has uncommon, rare, and mythic rare expansion symbols. Unsurprisingly, the higher the rarity, the less commonly those cards appear! More to share during previews.

Mystical Archive cards appearing in every booster makes me think limited is going to be really fun. A set based on a magical school and there’s random flashy spells, super flavorful.

Mentioned it in another post here earlier, but we did get one of these details muddled up on stream today! Repeating here for visibility:

Will the cards not legal in historic be useable in friendly games or other formats? Or are they just phantom for the draft.

Definitely legal in friendly games; other formats as power level allows
