Spellbook

A spellbook is a list of cards from outside the game that can be accessed by the conjure or draft keyword actions. Each spellbook is different, depending on which effect it's associated with. Spellbook was designed as a digital-only mechanic for MTG Arena.
==Description==
A spellbook is a curated list of up to 15 flavor-resonant cards tied to a specific card in the game. Cards with the spellbook mechanic only appear on Alchemy cards. The spellbook cards are not counted as part of a card's color identity.
The cards of the spellbook are not visible on the main cards themselves. Spellbooks are browsable in-game by right-clicking (or long-pressing) on the cards, much like looking at dungeons or cards that make multiple tokens. Outside of MTG Arena, lists are available online.
Cards in a spellbook are added to the game in one of two ways - A single card can be chosen from the entire list and conjured or a card can be drafted.
Drafting from a spellbook may occur as part of a spell, an activated or triggered ability. The player is presented with three cards chosen at random from among the spellbook cards and selects one to put into their hand. Conjuring or drafting a card does not remove that card from the spellbook and it can be selected again if it comes up.
===History===
A spellbook was first named in <c>Tome of the Infinite</c> from Jumpstart: Historic Horizons, where it was used in combination with conjure instead of draft. The mechanic also has similarities with Davriel, Soul Broker's offers and conditions from the same set. Drafting from a spellbook was formally introduced in Alchemy: Innistrad.
Alchemy Horizons: Baldur's Gate has some unique spellbooks amongst its selection: is the first to overlap more than ten cards with a previous spellbook (), has all entirely new digital cards (all of which have the same art) and has only five cards and are all from the same set.
In Alchemy: Eldraine, <c>Drover of the Swine</c>, <c>Porcine Portent</c> and <c>Swine Rebellion</c> all use the same named three-card spellbook - the Three Pigs. Alchemy: Ixalan has <c>Brazen Boarding</c>, which also has a three-card spellbook, alongside a distinct way to determine its conjured card.
