If players wish to continue playing with the Through the Omenpaths version of a card in their collection, they&#8217;ll be able to use it as a card style.<\/p>\n<p>For much more detail on what to expect with this update, <a href=\"https:\/\/magic.wizards.com\/en\/news\/mtg-arena\/marvel-super-heroes#SPM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">please read this article<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Arena Powered Cube<br \/>(June 2\u201323)<\/p>\n<p>0007_MTGSOS_MysArch: Prismatic Ending<br \/>\n0019_MTGSOS_MysArch: Force of Will<br \/>\n0035_MTGSOS_MysArch: Vampiric Tutor<br \/>\n0064_MTGSOS_MysArch: Expressive Iteration<br \/>\n0147_MTGECL_Special: Painter&#8217;s Servant<\/p>\n<p>The newest configuration of MTG Arena&#8217;s cavalcade of empowered enormity continues to thunder onward until June 23!

For example, if a depth art Saga was used to copy a non-depth art Grizzly Bear, the token would display a depth art style. This is changing. Going forward, the resulting token will match the non-depth art Grizzly Bear.<\/p>\n<p>Why the Change?<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of reasons for this change, but ultimately the final call came down to a desire to improve clarity around dramatically different card styles. We were particularly focused on card styles with alternate names, like the &#8220;Mina Harker&#8221; card style for Thalia, Guardian of Thraben. Copies showing a different name can be confusing or give the impression that something is wrong with the game.<\/p>\n<p>What Does This Mean for Me?<\/p>\n<p>If you were using card styles for cards that created copies because you liked making tokens that matched that card style, that won&#8217;t work anymore. However, if you were avoiding using card styles on things you wanted to copy because the mismatch between the original and the copy would have driven you mad (I am describing myself here), good news! The copies will now match the original.<\/p>\n<p>Green Game Jam x Magic Basic Lands<\/p>\n<p>Plains<br \/>\nIsland<br \/>\nSwamp<br \/>\nMountain<br \/>\nForest<\/p>\n<p>From June 6\u201323, MTG Arena and Wizards of the Coast are participating in <a href=\"https:\/\/playing4theplanet.org\/green-game-jam-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Playing for the Planet<\/a>&#8216;s 2026 Green Game Jam!
