The Mystic Archives are in Historic unless specifically stated not to be. I wouldn't be surprised if a third-party forgot to add that detail to their article, but only a total 7 of the 63 aren't going to be in per wizards, and we know Demonic Tutor, Lightning Bolt and Counterspell are three of those 7 already.

I always read that as "of the 63 that we reprint, 56 of them will be cards that already appear in Historic and are therefore legal" rather than "except these 7 we are making the other cards suddenly legal because they appear in Historic". Or, as I understand it, this isn't intended to be Historic Anthology 3.
"Mystical Archive cards will be legal in Historic (but not Standard), though seven will not join the format due to power-level concerns—this includes Swords to Plowshares and Demonic Tutor. While we've let the folks previewing cards know whether it will be legal in Historic (and they can share that as part of previewing the card), it's easy to miss those notes in all the excitement."
So far not legal:
Channel
Counterspell
Dark Ritual
Demonic Tutor
Lightning Bolt
Swords to Plowshares

You read that wrong. It will introduce a lot of new cards to the Historic format. Basically all rare / mythic Archive cards are cards that weren't already in the format, among them only 7 of them being "pre-banned" in historic while the rest is legal.

well, that's kind of exciting then. I don't even mind stone rain in the format. It's not like LD is a big player in Modern or Pioneer last I checked.

It is
I'd like to auto correct myself though: not ALL rare/mythics are new to the format, I don't know what made me think that... There aren't many counter examples right now, but there's Approach of the Second Sun as mythic that we already had, and Despark and Growth Spiral as rares. Most of the rare+ cards seem new so far but it's not automatic.

Everyone, let's welcome Stone Rain and Ponza to Historic.
Why is everyone so angry? And where did all those pitchforks come from?
