[Official] What is Historic?
Posted: Fri Sep 13, 2019 11:47 pm
Historic is a nonrotating constructed format that is currently (as of 11/2019) unique to the MTG Arena software. Historic allows you to play Arena cards that were previously Standard-legal. Amonkhet and Kaladesh block cards are not currently (as of 11/2019) legal in Historic play. In addition to these cards, Wizards intends to add individual cards from previous Magic sets to the Historic card pool. To quote Wizards, this means any card: "No restrictions on set, types, or rarities, no-holds-barred new." Here are the sets/cards that are legal in Historic:
