Modern Horizons 3 Out Now on MTG Arena!
The new set is available now, along with new events and new rewards with the opening of Psychic Frog's Horizons Hideaway! The cards from Modern Horizons 3 are playable in Historic, Timeless, and Brawl formats (with the exception of a few pre-bans), so there are lots of ways to enjoy the set.
Speaking of new, have you tried the Timeless format yet? This is MTG Arena's newest and largest Constructed format, where you can play with your most powerful MTG Arena cards. With the release of Modern Horizons 3, the format has a lot of new additions to augment your favorite decks or to strike out in new deck-building directions.
Where to Begin?
With lots of events and formats to enjoy, you may be wondering where you should start. We have YouTube videos with drafting guides and deck tech for Timeless, Historic, and Brawl formats that can get going!
Modern Horizons 3 Quick Draft Opens This Friday
There are lots of Modern Horizons 3 events open now in the wake of the new set's release, and you can add the Modern Horizons 3 Quick Draft to that list beginning this Friday, June 21!
Quick Draft is a great way to build your collection of Modern Horizons 3, take your time reading the cards as you draft them—you draft against bots in Quick Drafts, so no time limits—and to sharpen your drafting skills.
Arena Open: Modern Horizons 3 This Weekend
There's power in the new Modern Horizons 3 set—if you haven't yet, see the cards in the card image gallery—and you can wield that power June 22–23 to win an invitation to the July Qualifier Weekend and as much as $2,000 in the Arena Open: Modern Horizons 3!
Every entrant receives the Powerbalance sleeve:
The two-day Arena Open begins with Day 1 Sealed events, both Best-of-One and Best-of-Three. Perform well to earn an invitation to Day 2's series of Draft events that lead all the way to top prizes of $500, $1,000, and $2,000, plus invitations to the July Qualifier Weekend!
