The MTG press release claims this set will include "hundreds of new cards to MTG Arena"
There are character cards that can resist this, however theyre all either so weak you wouldnt want to waste the card on them anyway or only good when paired with a specific other card and so arent the most reliable
Across the various sets and blocks released in recent years theres been a push from WotC called Project Booster Fun, where they started including new alternate versions of cards in everyday packs
It comes with some fancy dice you can't get anywhere else, a good chunk of packs, and a storage box featuring artwork from cards in Shimmering Skies
Theres also a space for legends and +1/+1 counters this might be a good Golgari commander for, including cards like Reyhan, Last of the Abzan, Grakmaw, Skyclave Ravager, Polukranos, Unchained, Rishkar, Peema Renegade, Kodama of the West Tree, Renata, Called to the Hunt, and plenty of others
Then he has an ability that triggers on your combat
