It kicks off with Welcome to Phyrexia: Completely Outmatched, February 7–13. Choose from five Historic Brawl decks, each commanded by a dangerous foe from New Phyrexia, and battle it out for borderless planeswalker manga card styles—ten in all!

Then, beginning February 13, delve deep into New Phyrexia in the Welcome to Phyrexia Festival. Travel through the plane in a series of Singleton events focused on each of its layers, with each event featuring a unique emblem.

Wins earn you ichor card styles, five possible in each event—with five different events, that's 25 ichor card styles in all!

Pet of the Month: Get Codie Before February 1!

Codie, Vociferous Codex is only available through tomorrow, January 31. A new pet rotates in on February 1, so if you've been thinking about adding this bookish buddy to your collection, don't wait!
