Tarmogoyf’s back in a big way gang. WotC announced a new wave of cards in new Historic and Arena anthologies.

Two new MTG Arena Anthologies are on the way, and boy howdy there are some fantastic cards coming in them.

With Historic Anthology 6 and the first Explorer Anthology, you’ll get a number of iconic, powerful cards. Including your friend and mine, the Tarmogoyf.

Historic And Arena Anthologies – Coming July 28th

Historic and Explorer formats are getting new bundles of awesome cards with the release of Historic Anthology 6 and Explorer Anthology 1!

Available July 28 until October 5 for 4,000 gems or 25,000 gold, each bundle contains four copies of 20 powerful, iconic, and popular cards that open up new deck-building options.

For a taste of what you’ll find in each, check out these teaser cards!

First up there’s the Historic Anthology 6.

This is the first Historic Anthology drop since the arrival of Alchemy. Which prompted WotC to remind everyone that they won’t be rebalancing “iconic cards that have a significant history behind them.”

Meaning you won’t see Tarmogoyf rewritten, for instance. But if they cause problems, they’ll be rebelanced either indirectly or banned.

Speaking of Tarmogoyf, he’s back. Alongside Avacyn, Angel of Hope, and Go-Shintai of Life’s Origin. These are the first teasers, and if this is what you can expect, it’s gonna be fun.

On the other hand, the Explorer Anthology 1 brings a ton of power to the table. Uncounterable boardwipes. Heroic Hoplites. And Kalitas is just plain mean.

More cards will be revealed over the coming week though, so be sure and check back to see what else awaits you in the anthologies.

Both of these card sets will be available starting July 28th, but will only be around until October 5th. So you’ll have time to get ’em, but you won’t want to miss ’em.
