Magic: The Gathering Arena to receive Alchemy expansion for Streets of New Capenna and draft event
One way that Magic: The Gathering Arena stands out from its physical counterpart is that it has specific modes just for digital. Alchemy is a digital-only rotating format for the game. The mode is getting ready to see a major update, adding Streets of New Capenna cards to the mode in June 2022. A pair of limited events will also be added to the game for players to enjoy.
Alchemy is a unique version of Standard for Magic: The Gathering, changing how the Standard meta is played. One of the downsides to MTG is that players do not ever receive balance updates. Instead, at best, cards get banned in certain formats. Alchemy changes that.
This particular mode was built with digital-only players in mind and keeps the game fresh and evolving. Magic: The Gathering cards in Alchemy can be rebalanced, and there are also digital-only mechanics for these cards.
On June 2, 2022, the Alchemy format gets an update, adding 30 new cards to the Alchemy format. It does not appear that the cards for the Alchemy update have been revealed just yet, but players won’t have long to wait to see what has changed for them.
There will also be a limited mode, Premier Draft for Alchemy: New Capenna. This will run from June 2 to June 6, 2022, and cost 1,500 gems or 10,000 gold. In addition to Alchemy: New Capenna packs, they will also draft three Streets of New Capenna booster packs. These packs will replace a common card with a card from Alchemy: New Capenna.
That card is special, since it can have any rarity, and rares will appear twice as often as Mythic Rare. When it comes to what players can expect, Wizards of the Coast gave the odds of the common Streets of New Capenna being a different rarity.
The rewards will be in line with the current Standard draft
