Arena Open Returns with Strixhaven Sealed

You enjoyed the Kaldheim Sealed Arena Open in February, so we're bringing it back! May 8–9, play Sealed format matches with Strixhaven: School of Mages.

On Day 1, get sleeves in either—or both—competitions:

  • Best-of-One: Pick up the Rowan sleeve just for playing; seven wins earns you the Will sleeve.
  • Best-of-Three: Pick up the Will sleeve just for playing; four wins earns you the Rowan sleeve.

Of course, you can also earn gems for wins. Rack up seven wins on Day 1, and you're invited to Day 2 where the rewards get really big—up to $2,000 big!

Find all the details on how to play in the Strixhaven Sealed Arena Open.
