Arena Cube: Now until September 1

The latest Arena Cube is going on right now and continuing until September 1 at 8 a.m. PT (15:00 UTC). In this event, you open and pass around packs like a typical draft, only the card pool isn't a single Magic set but rather a selection of some of the best cards available in MTG Arena! Both Best-of-One and Best-of-Three matches are available. This is a Phantom event, so you don't get to keep the cards you draft, but you do keep the gold and Historic individual card rewards you can win!

Visit the Dominaria United Arena Cube page to see the rewards and all the cards in the cube pool!

The Next Year of Magic and MTG Arena

Last week, Wizards Presents gave us our first look at what's planned for the next year of Magic, and beyond. You can read, watch, reread, or rewatch everything we announced in our recap article. Here are some finer details specific to MTG Arena:

MTG Arena will support all the announced Standard-legal sets, including the epilogue set March of the Machine: The Aftermath.

From Universes Beyond, The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth™ will be available on MTG Arena. We intend for this set to launch "true-to-tabletop" with no card rebalances or digital-only mechanics, and it will be playable in Alchemy and Historic formats.
