Earlier today, Historic Anthology IV dropped on Magic: The Gathering Arena.
Historic was implemented for Magic: The Gathering Arena in November 2019, as a format that allows Arena players to make use of cards that are no longer legal in Standard after rotation. The format is exclusive to Arena and is intended to be a casual way for players to play with all the cards in their collection.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, Historic has grown in popularity as players shift their gaming to the digital client. As a result, Kaladesh Remastered, Amonket Remastered, and three Historic Anthologies have been released to cultivate the growth of the client and the Historic format.
