===Conjuring a duplicate===
Some cards "conjure a duplicate" of another card. These duplicates are not [[copy|copies]], but simply another conjured card, just as if the ability had read "conjure [that card's name]". Any effects on the card being duplicated will be absent on the conjured card, including [[perpetual]] effects.<ref>''[[Magic Arena]]'' gameplay (July 25, 2022). [[Wizards of the Coast]]. Recorded by [[Kenji Egashira]] (as NumotTheNummy). "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPYlVsT_YHc Arena Qualifier Day 2 | Baldur's Gate Alchemy Sealed | MTG Arena]", 2:24:50-2:26:50. Youtube.</ref>
 
The [[Double team]] ability includes conjuring a duplicate of the card with Double team.

Conjuring and drafting are similar to effects that access cards from [[outside the game]]: the game doesn't recognize those cards as existing before being brought in, they behave like normal cards once brought in, and they don't remain in a deck once the game ends. However, conjured cards don't need to be collected and legally owned by players. They also obey no [[sideboard]] restrictions on the number or legality of cards, although the effect itself could impose some restrictions. The cards available to conjure may even be dynamically determined, unlike a sideboard, like conjuring copies of the opponent's cards.

Conjure is a designed-for-digital, MTG Arena-specific keyword action introduced in Jumpstart: Historic Horizons.[1][2] It creates cards which were not originally in the player's deck or sideboard - they are created from the action itself, but behave like normal cards thereafter.

Description

Conjure creates a card for you to use that didn't exist before – not a token or a copy of a spell (like Reversal of Fortune), but an actual card that can sit in your hand until you are ready to use it. It remains a card even when cast or otherwise changing zones, just like normal cards from the deck. This can include cards that aren’t otherwise in a set or format, like Ponder, Stormfront Pegasus, or an original dual land (none of which are collectible in the same set as the cards that do the conjuring).

You might conjure to your hand, your library, your graveyard, or even directly to the battlefield, and once you do, the card is a full card for all rules purposes. The only difference from a regular card once created, is that of course, it does not remain in the deck once the game is over.

Conjure was inspired by the Mystery Booster concept of token cards.[3]

Conjuring a duplicate

Some cards "conjure a duplicate" of another card. These duplicates are not copies, but simply another conjured card, just as if the ability had read "conjure [that card's name]". Any effects on the card being duplicated will be absent on the conjured card, including perpetual effects.[4]

The Double team ability includes conjuring a duplicate of the card with Double team.

Related mechanics

Cards drafted from a spellbook behave just like conjured cards - that is, they're just like any other card other than the fact they didn't exist before being drafted. However, the two mechanics share no terminology, in-game relationship, or game rules. A few cards[a] blend the two ideas by conjuring from a spellbook rather than drafting from it.

Conjuring and drafting are similar to effects that access cards from outside the game: the game doesn't recognize those cards as existing before being brought in, they behave like normal cards once brought in, and they don't remain in a deck once the game ends. However, conjured cards don't need to be collected and legally owned by players. They also obey no sideboard restrictions on the number or legality of cards, although the effect itself could impose some restrictions. The cards available to conjure may even be dynamically determined, unlike a sideboard, like conjuring copies of the opponent's cards.

Rules

Conjure is not included as part of the Comprehensive Rules.[5] It operates according to the programmed rules of Magic: The Gathering Arena.

Example

Example

Wingsteed Trainer {3}{W}
Creature — Human
2/3
When Wingsteed Trainer enters the battlefield or attacks, conjure a Stormfront Pegasus card into your hand.
