Alchemy decks
What is the Alchemy format in Magic?
Alchemy is a rotating Magic Arena format based on Standard but supplemented with digital-only cards and digitally rebalanced versions of cards. It was designed to let Arena's card pool and metagame change more frequently than tabletop Standard.
As of October 2026, Alchemy is still playable, but Wizards has announced that the format will be retired with Arena's February 2, 2027 rotation. Its digital-only cards will remain available in formats such as Historic, Timeless, and Brawl.
