Amonkhet Remastered, the digital-only Magic: The Gathering compilation set, is coming to MTG Arena this month, and today, Wizards of the Coast has revealed more details about it.
In the the game's August 2020 State of the Game published today, Wizards shared the details for Amonkhet Remastered:
> 338 total cards from Amonkhet and Hour of Devastation*
> Obtainable in boosters, Limited events (Sealed and Draft), and through crafting
> Focus on creating an interesting, repeatable Limited player experience
> Provide support for Historic and (eventually) Pioneer Constructed formats
WotC also explained that the mechanics have been remastered to fit the updated look. Embalm and eternalize cards will appear as "near-hand castlables" once the respective card is in the graveyward and feature a themed enters-the-battlefield animation when using either ability.
Exert will use an interface like sacrifice abilities. When you attack with a creature, you have the option to choose between attacking as normal or exerting. Exerted creatures will feature arrows when attacking and will have a specific tap visual effect to remind players that it doesn't untap during the owner's next untap step. Once that untap step is over, the card will appear tapped as normal.
Amonkhet Remastered Premier Draft events will be available August 13-September 17; Sealed: Aug.13-Aug. 21. Amonkhet Remastered previews will be on Aug. 10 to 12.
