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.

Example

Example

Arcane Archery {2}{G}
Instant
Target creature get +3/+3 and gains reach and trample until end of turn. You get a boon with "When you cast your next creature spell, that creature enters the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter, reach counter and trample counter on it."
