New Historic and Brawl Decks Coming to the Store
Elves! Dinosaurs! Merfolk! And, oh my, Gisa and Geralf! Five new preconstructed decks will be available tomorrow, October 8, in the MTG Arena Store. From starter and foundational decks to a high-powered champion-level deck, you'll find two Historic decks and three Brawl decks to choose from.
Tomorrow, take a look at all the cards included in each deck by visiting the MTG Arena Store. You can also see which cards from the deck you already have—remember, the price of each is prorated, so you only pay for those cards you don't have in your collection!
With these, the deck building work is done—get in and play Historic or Brawl matches right away!
