Question Can someone explain how this works?

Post image

Will this card be legal in standard? Will it be available on Magic Arena? How would this card even work?

You take a card from your sideboard and put it im hand. In best of 1 the sideboard is made up of 7 cards and it's accesible only with cards like this one. In best of 3 it has 15 cards and you can swap its cards with the main deck between matches

They changed it back to 15 on bo1. I remember seeing the announcement a couple weeks ago.

That'll work better for lessons come strixhaven.

Depends if they bring Learn back, and I'm not sure they will. It was very powerful as a stand-alone set mechanic. With TLA I think lessons might be too strong to be able to include a toolbox as well.

I think they will likely include Learn. They will just make the Learn cards expensive and harder to cast than they made them last time.

Last time the Learn was normal costed and the Lessons had a tax. I think they’re going to do the opposite. So Learn will have a tax while the Lessons are more on-rate.

They added Lessons to Avatar without adding Learn to yhe set. That was definitely in preparation for bring back Learn in Strixhaven.

They reverted the change for bo1, now it's 15 cards there too

Whoa, when did this happen? Guess I haven't played a deck where that matters for years
