- Not to be confused with Boon (slang).
A boon is a designed-for-digital, MTG Arena-specific marker introduced in Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate which represents a delayed trigger. Some previous digital cards have used similar phrasing but without attributing the text to a boon, such as Tenacious Pup or Molten Impact.
A boon is created by some cards to set up an effect much like a delayed triggered ability, but the boon is phrased as a separate entity with the trigger on it, similar to an emblem. Once the boon triggers, it disappears.[1]
Currently, boons aren't part of the Comprehensive Rules.
