Alchemy: Ixalan

Alchemy: Ixalan

Flavor text

***Alchemy: Ixalan*** is a *MTG Arena*-exclusive card set in the Alchemy-series that was released on December 5, 2023.

## Description

*Alchemy: Ixalan* is a digital only release adjacent to the release of *The Lost Caverns of Ixalan*. 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 Ixalan.

## Mechanics

The digital-only mechanics **Conjure**, **Double team**, **Intensity**, **One-time boon**, **Perpetually**, **Seek** and **Spellbook** are reused. From the main set, **Discover**, **Explore**, **Descend 8**, **Fathomless descent** and **Map** tokens are reused. **Enrage** returns from the original *Ixalan* set.

The action of perpetually increasing a card's intensity number is keyworded as **Intensify**.

The set introduces the **Chorus** subtype for Instant and Sorcery spells to represent songs and sea shanties. The subtype itself has no function beyond flavor but it allows for the Intensity mechanic to affect multiple cards without having to name them. The set includes the first multiple-use **Three-time boon**.
