A set of new limited-time Avengers Assemble! achievements are now available with the release of Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes! Until July 21, 2026, you can earn four copies of select cards from the Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes Welcome Decks and Beginner Box by playing games, casting spells, and completing other feats.

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 begins tomorrow! From June 30–July 5, players will compete in Best-of-One matches of Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes Sealed. Players can earn gems and MTG Arena packs for emerging victorious three to six times and, while supplies last, Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes Collector Booster boxes for seven wins or more!

In case you missed the initial announcement, this Arena Direct 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.

The format for July's events is Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes Sealed.
