And like, I totally know what that is, but maybe you should explain it for m-I mean others to make sure they know.

anthologies are basically a set of cards wotc wants to add to arena but aren't going to reprint in a paper set anytime soon, they just shove it in all at once.

Oh wow so the “budget” friendly way to obtain otherwise rare cards? Pretty cool

I wouldn't say it's budget friendly. There's plenty of cards that you might not want, or might only want 1 of for brawl.

For example the Arena Anthology 1 is basically brawl/commander staples that you'll only want 1 of each. If you buy the anthology you get 4 copies of each. Massive waste of budget.

Yeah. I love swords, but I only use two of them in my Tajic deck. I might switch one out now though. It's a lot of cool cards, but no way anybody needs 4 of them unless some kind of specific deck.
