Wizards of the Coast has announced a new format for MTG Arena called MTG Timeless, which will be released on December 12. This format will allow players to use every card in their MTG Arena collection, including cards from the upcoming Khans of Tarkir release and every release after that. MTG Timeless will have both best-of-one and best-of-three ranked and unranked queues. The format will also include a Midweek Magic event on the release day, with a metagame challenge appearing in early February.
The new format will have a Restricted List, which means that decks can only have one copy of a restricted card in the main deck and sideboard combined. Players will receive wildcards for extra copies of restricted cards in their collection. Three cards have been placed on the Restricted List for MTG Timeless, including Channel, Demonic Tutor, and Tibalt’s Trickery.
Additionally, the article announced that Khans of Tarkir Fetch Lands will be banned in the MTG Arena Historic format upon release. This decision was made to prevent the combination of Fetch Lands and Delve cards from creating format-altering amounts of power. The ban aims to keep the Historic format in an enjoyable place without changing it too quickly.
Overall, the introduction of MTG Timeless and the ban of Khans of Tarkir Fetch Lands in Historic are significant developments that will impact the MTG Arena community.
