Kaladesh Remastered will be MTG Arena's second remastered set following Amonkhet Remastered, which was released earlier this year. Kaladesh Remastered will combine both sets from the 2017-18 steampunk-themed block, Kaladesh and Aether Revolt, into one remastered set.

Wizards revealed the cards in the Kaladesh Remastered card image gallery, but MTG Arena Game Director Jay Parker confirmed on Reddit that there are few cards unintentionally missing like Whirling Virtuouso and Winding Constrictor at the moment. It's likely that more cards will be revealed soon, but we already know that some of the most powerful cards from the Kaladesh block like Chandra, Torch of Defiance and Aetherworks Marvel, and Torrential Gearhulk are returning in the remastered set. However, it looks like two powerful Artifact cards will not be returning in the remastered set: Walking Ballista and Smuggler's Copter.

Another notable exclusion is Felidar Guardian:

Both Smuggler's Copter and Felidar Guardian have been banned in Standard when Kaladesh and Aether Revolt cards were Standard legal a few years ago. Smuggler's Copter was the most powerful Vehicle that can consistently sneak enough damage in early game while Felidar Guardian was used in a combo with Saheeli Rai to make infinite copies of itself with Haste and win for the game.

Are you excited to play Kaladesh Remastered on MTG Arena? I personally can't wait to play Torrential Gearhulk again.

Kaldesh Remastered is set to release in MTG Arena on Nov. 12.
