Buy Decks in the MTG Arena Store Tomorrow!

Starting on Tuesday, August 13, you can buy complete Standard and Brawl decks in the MTG Arena Store! They offer fast and easy ways to start playing Standard and Brawl games right away.

The price of these decks is prorated such that you only purchase cards missing from your collection. For each copy of a card already in your collection that is contained in these decks, the total gem price is reduced at a scaling rate based on the rarity of the card.

You'll be able to see the cards in each deck, as well as which you already have in your collection, before you purchase.

FAQs

What are the MTG Arena renewal rewards 2024? ›

2024 Renewal Happens July 30

It's full to bursting with these rewards that'll be yours when it hatches next Tuesday: 10 individual card rewards (ICRs) from non-rotating sets: 1 rare each from Outlaws of Thunder Junction, Murders at Karlov Manor, The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, and Wilds of Eldraine.

How do you get good cards in Magic: The Gathering Arena? ›

Do as many drafts as you can afford first, pick all the rares and mythic rares you come across, and then open your packs. MTG Arena's duplicate protection will keep you from getting any rares or mythic rares you've already collected four of, giving you a better chance of filling out the set's missing cards.

Is MTG Arena still popular? ›

Their number keeps growing because there are obviously many fans of such video games across the globe. However, several titles have stood the test of time and the pressure of new games, and Magic: The Gathering Arena is undoubtedly among them.

How long has MTG Arena been around? ›

The game was released in a beta state in November 2017, and was fully released for Microsoft Windows users in September 2019, and a macOS version on June 25, 2020. Mobile device versions were released in March 2021.

How many people make it to the Mythic MTG Arena? ›

There's no real limit to how many people can reach Mythic on Arena. It's not like once there's a certain number of people in Mythic, it'll just stop letting people in. The more players that are on Arena, the more will find themselves making their way to Mythic, as a matter of course.

How do you get rare wildcards in Magic arena? ›

Wildcards can be obtained in booster packs, and are available in all rarities: common, uncommon, rare, and mythic rare. As you acquire commons and uncommons of which you already own 4 copies, you earn progress to fill your Vault. Once you fill your Vault, you also get wildcards - 3 uncommon, 2 rare, and 1 mythic.

How to maximize MTG Arena? ›

Small Window and Can't be Maximized
  1. Right-click the shortcut you use to launch the game.
  2. Select Properties.
  3. On the Shortcut tab, change Run to Maximized.
  4. Save your changes.
  5. Launch the game using that shortcut.

What is a good win percentage in MTG Arena? ›

Arena Tutor can help you quickly build these to test on Arena, too. MTG is a game of variance, and not even the pro players win more than 65-70% of their games. The best decks in the metagame usually have a 55-60% win rate overall.

Is MTGO or MTGA better? ›

You may want to choose between either Magic Arena or Magic Online as a starting point. How to choose? Well, Magic Online is the place to play older formats including Vintage, Legacy, Modern, Pioneer and Pauper. If you're not specifically a lover of these older cards, then Arena is generally more popular and accessible.

What is the best mode to play in MTG Arena? ›

Standard is the most popular format on MTG Arena, accounting for the largest share of games played in the various queues (Ranked, Play, and so on). The graph shown above is prior to rotation, so you can see Standard's share of play going down a bit while Historic and other modes climb slightly.

Is MTG Arena matchmaking random? ›

Magic: The Gathering Arena isn't random. Pretty sure I'm always fighting a doppelganger. I mean, I get why we match make, but having your opponent sorted by identical strategy just takes the lemonade out of this game. I used to be a daily player, but now I'm simply getting bored.

What is the average age of Magic: The Gathering players? ›

The average tabletop player is ~30 years; players range from 13 years old to 45 years old.

How many MTG players are there in the world? ›

Released in 1993 by Wizards of the Coast, Magic was the first trading card game and had approximately fifty million players as of February 2023. Over twenty billion Magic cards were produced in the period from 2008 to 2016, during which time it grew in popularity.

How many unique Magic cards are there in 2024? ›

The total number of MTG cards depends on what Magic: The Gathering card count you want to use – there are around 27,000 unique cards, but many more if you start to include reprints, variants, and 'out of game' cards like art cards and tokens.

What are the rewards in Magic Arena? ›

There are two in-game currencies forming the basis of the MTG Arena economy. Gold — by winning games (750 gold total after the 14th win of the day; alternates with card bonuses), completing daily quests with a reward of 500 or 750 gold, finishing Constructed events and leveling up in the Mastery Pass tree.

What is the prize for the MTG Arena? ›

Each Championship features 32 top players, determined by four months' worth of competitive ladder and event play on MTG Arena. They compete for a $200,000 prize pool.
