MTG Explorer Anthology 3 Release Date

MTG Explorer Anthology 3 Release Date

A new batch of cards is coming to Magic: The Gathering Arena with the express purpose of shaking up the meta. Explorer Anthology 3 is the latest “anthology” of cards to be added to this digital adaptation of MTG, bringing with it a selection of cards from Magic’s past that are sure to turn a few heads on its way to the client. Here’s when Explorer Anthology 3 will be available to purchase on MTG Arena.

Explorer Anthology 3, or EA3, is a limited selection of cards handpicked for the Explorer format on MTG Arena. Unlike a traditional set or even mini-set, EA3 is a carefully-curated batch of 25 cards selected to empower certain decks and create new strategies in MTG’s Explorer format.

According to announcements made by Wizards of the Coast, Explorer Anthology 3 will be available starting July 18 on MTG Arena. One important caveat to note is that EA3 will only be available to purchase as a set for a limited time: until October 10. While this is a span of several months, it might be important to keep in mind if you are still unsure of whether to join in the Explorer format now or later.

Reactions to spoilers of EA3 cards have been mixed: some of the cards are powerful while others fit more into the category of “jank.”

Despite the name, EA3 cards will also be legal in other formats on MTG Arena, like Historic, but not Standard. This means they can be used in multiple queues on the digital client.
