Alchemy: The Brothers' War

Alchemy: The Brothers' War

Flavor text

***Alchemy: The Brothers' War*** is a *MTG Arena*-exclusive card set in the Alchemy-series that was released on December 13, 2022.

## Description

*Alchemy: The Brothers' War* is a digital only release adjacent to the release of *The Brothers' War*. There are 30 new designed-for-digital cards included in the set (10 uncommons, 15 rares, 5 mythic rares). All of the cards are set on Dominaria.

## Mechanics

The digital-only mechanics **Conjure**, **Intensity**, **Perpetually**, **Seek** and **Spellbook** are reused. From the main set, **Prototype** and **Unearth** are used.

Because Alchemy is mostly played 1v1, the designers built upon the design space of Forsaken Crossroads by creating cards the give an additional beneficial effect if you are **not the starting player** (e.g. Lonely End).

Crucias, Titan of the Waves uses anchor words.
