[Top 25] Magic Arena The best casual free card (2023)

FAQs

Can you get free cards in MTG Arena? ›

Planeswalker Decks and Gift Packs

If you buy any of the Planeswalker Decks (starting with Guilds of Ravnica), you'll also get a code which you can redeem for MTG Arena codes to get all the cards in the deck—for free!

You'll also be able to grab MTG Arena codes from pre-release packs. You'll find a long code on a card inside the pack that will net you a few more packs from the set the pre-release is for.

Quests. Quests are the easiest way to get ahead on MTG Arena. Quests range between rewarding 750 or 500 gold, depending on the difficulty, and every day you also get daily win bonuses, up to 15 game wins, that reward another 750 gold worth of value, plus some random cards that can be anything from commons to mythics.

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.

Unlike Magic Online, MTG Arena only focuses on the newest cards and game modes. It features the full card sets in Standard, with around 1,000 new cards added every year.

Pack Codes

The prerelease codes redeem for six booster packs, while the promo packs redeem for only one booster. However, the limit is 5 per MTG Arena account with the promo packs.

1. Copy the decklist from your source, starting with the word “Deck” down to the last card in the list. 2. In MTG Arena, navigate to your “Decks” tab and then click “IMPORT” at the bottom of the screen.

If you are at Arena 7 or above, Legendary Trades will also appear about 4 times in 30 days! Epic Trades will appear every Sunday, and the rest of the days will be Common and Rare Trades. All cards are available for trade, even cards you have not yet unlocked! However, they cannot be from higher Arenas.

Does MTG Arena have codes? ›

In MTG Arena, codes are a great way to get in-game items such as booster packs, cosmetic upgrades, and XP. They can be found in many places too, including select physical Magic: The Gathering products, giving you plenty of opportunities to play! YOU CAN NOT REDEEM CODES ON THE MOBILE VERSION OF THE APP AT THIS TIME.

MTG Arena has 15 free decks that are given to new players and existing players as they are updated each year. This guide has each decklist as well as the list of rares and mythics granted, so you can plan your collection ahead.

1. Black Lotus. Black Lotus has long held a reputation as the most valuable Magic: The Gathering card ever made, dating from MTG's very first set, Limited Edition Alpha, released in 1993.

Proxies aren't legal in MTG, and depending on how they're made, they sometimes skirt the line of legal in general. Counterfeit cards and proxy cards aren't technically the same.

Again, you don't need to buy gems in Arena's store to get them, there are plenty of ways to earn them for free. The only thing you need to spend is your time. If you've got the Mastery Pass, you can get up to 800 gems by leveling up. You also get a Draft token at level 15, which will net you at the very least 50 gems.

Crafting cards in MTG Arena is super simple. You have Common, Uncommon, Rare and Mythic Wildcards. These are earned in packs, from opening a certain number of packs and as part of the free and premium Mastery Pass. They are all earned at different rates based on their rarity.

Mythic cards are powerful but very rare. Every pack has a small chance of giving a mythic except those packs where every card is a guaranteed (because there's no free slots for the mythic). While the odds are not known, experience suggests that the average is about 1 mythic per 750 to 1000 packs opened.

There is about a 1 out of 8 chance per booster pack to get a mythic rare instead of a rare. The reason is when printing, usually 15 out of 121 cards on a sheet are mythic rare instead of rare, giving us the 1/8 approximation.

What are the chances of getting a mythic rare in MTG Arena? ›

Uncommons in this slot can upgrade to rares at approximately 1:3. Rares in this slot can upgrade to mythics at a rate of approximately 1:5. Each Mythic Booster always has a Mythic Rare in the Rare slot, unless it's replaced with a Rare Wildcard.

One of the fastest ways to collect the newest cards on MTG Arena is by playing Limited—that is, jumping to a Draft or Sealed event and opening new packs.

If you open a card you don't have four copies of, you get the card. If you open the fifth copy of a card, one of two things will happen: If it's a rare or mythic rare card, it'll be replaced by another random rare or mythic rare card from the same set.

Play Rules/Modifiers

Historic is MTG Arena's largest Constructed format, filled with both old and new Magic cards. Digital-only cards are legal in this format, including rebalanced versions of existing cards.

Each ladder has six ranks: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, and Mythic, and each rank is broken down into four tiers. In the first rank (Bronze), losses don't lose you any tiers but once you get to the next rank (Silver) you will start to lose tiers if you lose a match.

There is no maximum deck size, however, the player must be able to shuffle their deck unassisted. Players may have a sideboard of up to a maximum of 15 cards, and exchanges of cards between games are not required to be on a one-for-one basis, so long as the player adheres to the 60 card minimum deck size.

In a move that further distances MTG Arena from paper Magic: The Gathering, the developers for MTG Arena have decided to put a limit on the amount of tokens on each player's side of the battlefield at one time to 250.

If the player knew that the card was counterfeit and used it anyway, then the penalty is Cheating, and the player should be Disqualified from the tournament.

Unlike some other online card games, such as Hearthstone, MTG Arena does not allow players to sell or disenchant their cards for in-game currency or other cards. This means that any card you acquire in MTG Arena is yours to keep forever, unless you decide to delete your account or the game shuts down.

They are either for Sleeves, Card Styles, Alternative-Art Cards, or a bundle of the above. As with most MTG Arena codes, the limit is one code per MTGA account. So far, all the released Secret Lair codes haven't expired, even though some were bound to expire one year after their release.

What is the most powerful God in MTG? ›

1 Yawgmoth

As the original major Magic villain, Yawgmoth set the standard for all who followed him. A standard which, one could argue, none have surpassed since.

Affinity/Raffinity/Ravager Affinity. Debatably the most powerful aggro deck that has ever existed, Affinity is an Artifact-based aggro deck using mainly cards from the Mirrodin block. It uses creatures with the Modular ability as well as creatures that can be played cheaply or for free due to the Affinity ability.

Legendary cards are unlocked in Arena 4. From there on, you have chances of finding one. Like the name “Legendary,” they are very rare; hence, a bit of luck is also involved in getting those cards.

But for the competitive Clash Royale players, you'll want to stick to the Path of Legends. This is unlocked at Arena 15 in Trophy Road (5000 Trophies/King Level 30). Once unlock, tap on the icon next to the Battle button on the main screen.

When the player reaches a new Arena, they cannot drop back down to a previous Arena. However, players can still be demoted to a lower League.

If you're into Alchemy, you can grab some free packs using the code: PlayAlchemyNewCapenna. On top of those, you can also find codes within pre-made decks you can buy as well as pre-release packs.

A: No, there is a limit on the number of MTG Arena pack codes that can be redeemed per account. This means you can only redeem one Prerelease code and up to 5 Promo Pack codes from each set.

Also they do expire but they all expire at once so you won't be left with 1. If you are talking about what I think you are talking about you can only redeem one per account so even if you put in two codes you will only get 1 ticket. Also they do expire but they all expire at once so you won't be left with 1.

In the early days, I suggest building decks with around 24 creatures, 12 spells, and 24 land. Obviously these numbers are not set in stone, so if you want to make a deck with a 20/16/24 configuration, then go right ahead.

What is the best starting deck MTG Arena? ›

Choose the White-Blue deck to take control of the game—casting spells to stall your opponent while you fill the skies with a deadly swarm of creatures.

Blue is defined by knowledge and intellectualism, and it has the signature ability to draw and manipulate cards. This is among the most powerful things you can do in competitive Magic and has made blue historically the strongest color (which becomes more apparent in formats where cards from the 1990's are legal).

The standard 52-card deck of French-suited playing cards is the most common pack of playing cards used today.

Use online stores, your local communities, vendors at large events, and even local marketplaces to get good deals on all the packs you need for speculating, drafting, or playing with friends.

Play Draft Ranked Events

If you have some Gold or Gem sitting in your MTG Arena wallet, then by far the best way to grow your collection of cards, is by playing Draft Ranked events. They give a lot more cards than just buying Booster Packs do, so make sure to take advantage of this.

Hence for drawing a card from a deck, each outcome has probability 1/52. The probability of an event is the sum of the probabilities of the outcomes in the event, hence the probability of drawing a spade is 13/52 = 1/4, and the probability of drawing a king is 4/52 = 1/13.
