Buy Decks in the MTG Arena Store Tomorrow!
Starting on Tuesday, August 13, you can buy complete Standard and Brawl decks in the MTG Arena Store! They offer fast and easy ways to start playing Standard and Brawl games right away.
The price of these decks is prorated such that you only purchase cards missing from your collection. For each copy of a card already in your collection that is contained in these decks, the total gem price is reduced at a scaling rate based on the rarity of the card.
You'll be able to see the cards in each deck, as well as which you already have in your collection, before you purchase.
