Five Mystical Archive Bans Shake MTG Arena Historic Ahead of May Update

MTG release coverage notes that Wizards of the Coast pre-banned five Secrets of Strixhaven Mystical Archive cards on MTG Arena Historic: Vampiric Tutor, Daze, Force of Will, Armageddon, and Library of Alexandria. The bans aim to curb power levels (Library of Alexandria described as an overall power outlier; Armageddon restricted to Timeless/Brawl). Pyretic Ritual and Jeska’s Will were not banned, signaling that further adjustments could come with the May 18 ban announcement.
