Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate is a MTG Arena-exclusive card set that will be released on the 7th of July 2022[1]. It is a set in the Alchemy-series.[2]

Description

Expansion symbol

Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate is a digital only release adjacent to the release of Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate. This set combines a selection of cards from Battle for Baldur's Gate with cards from that set digitally rebalanced for 1v1 on Arena, and 81 brand new designed-for-digital cards ("Straight-to-Alchemy"). It introduces more than 250 cards to MTG Arena. The set, unlike previous Alchemy sets, is designed as a full drafting experience.[3]

Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate includes returning cards from Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms (commons and uncommons only), rebalanced cards for Alchemy from Commander Legends: Battle for Baldur's Gate and Adventures in the Forgotten Realms, but also reimagined cards. Reimagined cards feature the same art as the card they are based upon, but have a new card name and new rules text.[4]

Revised Alchemy card stamp

Except for cards that are exactly the same as in the paper sets, the Alchemy cards of this set have the Alchemy "A" as a "foil stamp" at the central bottom of the card. Other than previous Alchemy sets, this set features a circular expansion symbol.

Mechanics

The digital-only mechanics Conjure, Perpetually, Seek and Spellbook all return.

This set introduces Specialize on reimagined cards — Pay mana and discard a color/land type of your choice to change your card to that new card with its effects (the change depends on which color you discarded). These cards feature a circled upward-pointing triangle in the upper left corner of the card.[5]

Another new mechanic is Double team — When a creature with double team attacks, if it's not a token, conjure a duplicate of the original into your hand, and then both cards lose double team.[5]

Boon is also a new-to-MTG Arena mechanic, and won't be exclusive to the Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate set. It is a way to represent delayed triggers, similar to an emblem, but once it triggers, it disappears.[5]
