Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast (WotC) and MTG Nerd Girl, check out these five new Alchemy cards coming soon to MTG Arena via Alchemy: Innistrad!
Antique Collector is a new potential option for Humans and green midrange decks.
This Human Rogue can slip by most early blockers to chip in for some damage and gives all your creatures you control the ability to shuffle them into your deck when they die and investigate.
Tenacious Pup flashes back to Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths and keyword counter mechanic.
This little Wolf starts out by gaining you 1 life as potential tool for the Selesnya lifegain decks in Historic, but also can fill in the curve for Wolf or Werewolf decks in Standard by powering up the next creature you play. Plan out your sequencing carefully so the right creature enters the battlefield bigger and with trample and vigilance. Curve into Werewolf Pack Leader for a two-mana 4/5 with trample, vigilance, and its pack tactics ability.
Key to the Archive is the first artifact to have the draft from its spellbook mechanic.
It functions as a mana rock that taps for two mana in any combination of colors, but also allows you to draft from its spellbook when its enters the battlefield then discard a card. Its spellbook has some of the most powerful spells in Magic history packed away.
Key to the Archive’s spellbook contains:
- Approach of the Second Sun
- Day of Judgment
- Time Warp
- Counterspell
- Demonic Tutor
- Doom Blade
- Lightning Bolt
- Claim the Firstborn
- Krosan Grip
- Regrowth
- Despark
- Electrolyze
- Growth Spiral
- Lightning Helix
- Putrefy
Soulstealer Axe converts your opponent’s life loss into card advantage.
By giving the equipped creature trample, Soulstealer Axe makes sure the creature wielding the weapon can get through to damage the opponent. Then you get to seek a card with mana value equal to the damage the creature dealt to the player.
Wickerwing Effigy brings an often green ability to an artifact creature.
This three-mana 1/4 Scarecrow with defender that lets you look at the top card of your library at any time and cast creatures off the top. If you cast the creature with its ability, the creature becomes a 1/1 black Bird with flying in addition to the other types and colors of the creature.
