Last year all of the people who work on MtG: Arena were recognized by WotC as some of 2018's Heroes of the Realm, a prize for taking WotC to new and exciting directions. Today we finally got the coolest part of this prize: a card we helped design! I'm very proud to be part of this team and to make this cool game. #wotc_staff

Wow so strong and cool art.

Will this card be playable at least in historic?

No, if it were in Arena it wouldn’t be legal in any format*. These cards are designed to be flavorful and represent the team receiving them, not be balanced, healthy additions to a meta.

*Note that cards not legal in any format can still be used in Direct Challenge.
