As the official MTG Arena Twitter account drips players with card arts from the upcoming Historic Anthology 6 and Explorer Anthology 1 sets before its full reveal later tomorrow, and so far officially today, Mausoleum Wanderer, Elvish Mystic, Ophiomancer, and Laelia, the Blade Reforged have been revealed. Players have now taken the job to themselves and dug up the game files and datamine the full card list:
The message initially spread from MTGGoldfish’s stream (original clip), and not long after this list was leaked, Elvish Mystic was revealed. Multiple players have now confirmed these cards to be in the current game files so we can say with almost certainty that this could be the final list for tomorrow. Of course, the patch could prove different and the list could change at any moment. Let’s take a look and speculate regardless!
Explorer Anthology 1
The first Explorer Anthology list has some solid archetype staples, but still missing a few such as Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx. It looks to pushing the Heroic archetype a bit with multiple cards for it.

Historic Anthology 6
The set has a minor artifact theme going on, though it does seem odd that 10 of the card slots are occupied by the common artifact dual lands that might just see play in Historic Pauper. The list otherwise looks quite tame. Could these be replaced by fetchlands instead? One can only hope!
