A suite of new offerings will appear in the MTG Arena Store tomorrow, including a wave of new Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes items. New full-art basic lands, card styles, avatars, emotes, and more will be available to enhance your MTG Arena experience.

Arena Direct for Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes Sealed
(June 30–July 5)

The first Arena Direct event featuring Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes will be held soon! This event runs from June 30–July 5 and will be made up of Best-of-One matches of Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes Sealed. Prizes include gems and MTG Arena packs for players who claim three to six wins and Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes Collector Booster boxes, while supplies last, for players who earn seven wins or more!

This event will be the first to feature some important changes. To reduce the need for replacement event rewards, Arena Direct events will now have a limited number of total possible entries. Once that limit is reached, new entries will not be available and the event will be "sold out." To make prize fulfillment smoother, single players may not enter Arena Direct events using multiple Wizards accounts. Additionally, the duration of Arena Direct events will be extended to allow more participation for players with different schedules.

We hope these changes will make Arena Direct events and their rewards more accessible for a wider group of players while maintaining the fun, exciting challenge of competitive Magic.

Please see the event page and the official terms and conditions for more details regarding this event as well as the changes described above.

Competitive Brawl Begins
(June 23)

We recently announced an exciting new variation to MTG Arena's Brawl format: Competitive Brawl. If you missed it, Dave Finseth wrote an excellent article discussing the development of the format and what players can expect from it. Among other things, Competitive Brawl features its own matchmaking system and a banned list that differs from Brawl.

For those raring to dive into Competitive Brawl, it will be available starting tomorrow and can be found under the "Competitive" and "Brawl" tabs on MTG Arena!

To mark the occasion, we're featuring two of Max McCall's favorite Competitive Brawl decks below, built by @dafore and @ImNotFineMTG. If you're curious to see the new format in action, tune in to tomorrow's episode of WeeklyMTG on twitch.tv/magic to see Max play some matches!
