Live now
Magic: Arena, following tradition, is ushering in the newMagic: The Gatheringset a little earlier than its paper cousin.
Theros Beyond Death, the Greek mythology-themed set, is now live in Arena, with physical pre-release events happening this weekend and the full paper rollout launching on January 24. The big mechanics this time are escape (which lets you re-cast cards from your graveyard), devotion (same-colored mana can boost the strength of each card) and constellation (bonuses that trigger when you use enchantments in this enchantment-heavy set).
A number of other upgrades have arrived inArenaas well, like an icon that shows “first” when you initially earn a copy of a new card, a deck favorite system and naturally a ton of cosmetics. Good luck with your jank decks until the meta properly forms!I’m still using a few of these deckswith some substitutions.
Here’s a tip when you first log in: use the code “PlayTheros” to unlock three free packs.Arenaveterans are probably used to guessing the code at that point, as previous sets used nomenclature like “PlayEldraine” and “PlayRavnica.”
