Much of Modern Horizons 3 is coming to the digital platform Magic: The Gathering Arena, where players can compete in Limited, Historic, Brawl, and Timeless formats.
Unboxing Modern Horizons 3 Bundle
With the digital launch of MH3 on June 11th, the third Modern Horizons set will be available to play on MTG Arena via Limited Draft and Sealed events. The cards will also be legal to play in Constructed formats like Historic, Brawl, and Timeless. The Historic format will not include all of the MH3 cards due to power levels, with WotC predicting that there will be up to 20 pre-banned cards. No cards have been pre-banned at the time of writing. Of all the MTG Arena formats, Draft will likely be the most popular format to play MH3 in.
For the first time on MTG Arena, WotC has created a Battle Pass for MH3, designed like the prize wall you’d find at tabletop festivals and tournaments. The Battle Pass starts on June 11th and can be found in the store on the far right of the tabs at the bottom of the screen. It’s called Psychic Frog’s Horizon Hideaway and ends on July 30th with the release of Bloomburrow.
The Psychic Frog's Horizon Hideaway is not a free Battle Pass, which costs 2,800 Gems. However, you can purchase the Battle Pass at any time and still earn rewards based on tickets earned up to that point. To earn rewards, players collect tickets through Quests and Daily Wins. Completing a Quest will earn you 45 tickets. One to five Daily Wins will earn you two tickets per win, while six to ten Daily Wins will earn you one ticket per win.
