ALT When we set out to add Modern Horizons 3 to MTG Arena, we knew it would shake up Historic with powerful new synergies and a higher bar of individual card quality. We intentionally took a light approach to pre-emptive bans for this set as we wanted to give as many cards a chance in the format as possible. As a part of this strategy, we expected we would need to make adjustments after competitive players developed the metagame with these new stronger decks. We are making the first rebalance today but may need to make additional adjustments in the future as we dial in the right balance for Historic after adding so many powerful new cards.
ALT In the time since Modern Horizons 3 released, players have explored several new deck strategies, but the Boros Energy deck has dominated the field and begun to push out many other decks. Making up 58% of the field at the most recent Arena Championship 6, Boros Energy demonstrated its power at one of the highest levels of competitive play. At its core, the deck's main strengths come from its speed and efficiency. Our three rebalance changes all aim to slow the deck down while lowering individual card power to be more in line with the rest of the format.
