Magic: The Gathering Arena will allow players to conjure the Power Nine in Dominaria United Alchemy
In one of the most unexpected announcements in Magic: The Gathering Arena history, Dominaria United’s Alchemy format is going to receive some of the most powerful cards in the game.
The Alchemy format is an online-only format, where some ridiculous, powerful cards have come into existence for players to mess around with. But through this new Oracle of the Alpha, something entirely different will arrive.

When it comes to Magic: The Gathering Arena, Alchemy is a unique, fun format. Some cards have felt overpowered before, but nothing has had the potential power that this one card has.
A Bird Wizard with flying, when it comes into play, you conjure the entire Power Nine into your library, then shuffle your deck. Here’s what the Oracle of the Alpha does in Magic: The Gathering Arena.
This adds 9 cards to your deck, and if you flicker him out and back in or simply cast more of him, this adds even more copies of the Power Nine into your deck. There’s nothing stopping you from having 4 Black Lotuses in your deck.
For those unaware, the Power Nine is a collection of cards from Magic: The Gathering’s Alpha, Beta, and Unlimited sets. They debuted back in 1993 and are considered by most of the fanbase to be the most powerful cards in the game.
They’re only legal in the Vintage format, and even there, they are restricted - only one of each can be in your deck. What do these cards do? Why are they so horrifyingly powerful?
While Mox cards are okay and undoubtedly useful, Black Lotus and Time Walk possess disgusting levels of power. Time Walk is an “extra turn” card for 2 mana and can be duplicated or copied through several effects.
