Mirror, Mirror Rewrites Historic July 3–6

July 3–6, step through the looking glass into an alternate realitywhere Oko, Thief of Crowns is just another great Historic card or Teferi, Time Raveler is more of a friend than foe to the format . . .

Given that MTG Arena is a digital expression of Magic, we want to experiment with some of the advantages only digital Magic can offer. Mirror, Mirror opens a portal to a Historic event in which twelve banned cards have been rebalanced, allowing you to play with those versions instead.

This event is All Access, meaning all cards are available for you to build your deck—even if they’re not in your collection!

The rebalanced cards will have the MTG Arena “A” logo before their names. Note that this logo is the mythic-rare-colored version on all these cards and is independent of the card’s actual rarity.

In exported decklists, these cards will appear with “A-” at the beginning of the card name. If you want to import a deck that uses these rebalanced cards, be sure to include the “A-” before the card name as well.

You can find these cards by using the advanced search command “set:ANC” in the deckbuilder.

Rebalanced cards cannot be crafted or otherwise added to your collection.

Card Name	Rebalancing	Rebalanced Version
Agent of Treachery	Enters-the-battlefield ability triggers only if Agent of Treachery was cast from your hand.
Field of the Dead	Changed to legendary. Zombie tokens changed to enter the battlefield tapped.
Fires of Invention	Mana cost changed from 3R to 3RR.
Nexus of Fate	Exiles itself instead of shuffling itself into your library.
Omnath, Locus of Creation	Enters-the-battlefield ability is now scry 1 instead of draw a card.
Oko, Thief of Crowns	Food-creating ability cost changed from +2 to +1. Elk-making ability cost changed from +1 to -2.
Once Upon a Time	If it’s the first spell you’ve cast this game, it costs {1} instead of nothing.
Teferi, Time Raveler	Mana cost changed from 1WU to 2WU. Starting loyalty changed from 4 to 5.
Uro, Titan of Nature’s Wrath	The “put a land from your hand onto the battlefield” effect removed; life gain and card draw effects remain.
Veil of Summer	Mana cost changed from G to 1G.
Wilderness Reclamation	Ability lets you “untap up to two lands you control” instead of all lands you control.
Winota, Joiner of Forces	Ability allows you to “look at the top four cards of your library” instead of the top six.
