The story and cards of Reality Fracture have been fully revealed, and now we're excited to bring a plethora of events to MTG Arena for this epic release. Like the last few sets, we will have many different varieties of Limited on offer for the majority of Reality Fracture's release. These evergreen events include Premier Draft, Traditional Draft, Pick-Two Draft, Contender Draft (starting October 13), Sealed, and Traditional Sealed. Additionally, we have some other events that are worth going through in a bit more detail.

Check everything out below!

Quick Draft

Most days for this release will feature Reality Fracture as the Quick Draft set. Additionally, we will offer the following Standard-legal sets:

  • September 29–October 7: Wilds of Eldraine
  • October 19–26: Aetherdrift

Arena Direct Events

There will be many opportunities to win physical Magic cards while exploring the Echoverse with Arena Direct events for Play Booster and Collector Booster boxes. The Arena Direct for Reality Fracture Collector Booster boxes will start October 2, the first Friday of the set's release on MTG Arena.

Additionally, we're bringing back Edge of Eternities Play Booster boxes for a limited-time event at the beginning of November.

Arena Powered Cube

Returning for three full weeks, Arena Powered Cube will once again be upgraded with some new cards, and several visual updates that are likely to delight players who've been playing Magic for over a decade.

Cube Prize Packs will also be updated with several new-to-MTG Arena cards!

Reality Fracture Omniscience Draft

Our limited-time, emblem-modified draft format is back for Reality Fracture. In this event, players draft a deck like normal but play matches with modified rules. Players start with only three cards in their hand but don't have to pay mana to cast spells! These modifications greatly change how to evaluate a draft pack and offer a refreshing alternative to the Limited format.

Historic Pauper Metagame Challenge

We're bringing back a weeklong Historic Pauper event after the success of the first one. This time we have lowered the entry cost and rewards so more players can give this fun format a try.

  • Entry Cost
    • 2,500 Gold
    • 500 Gems
  • Rewards
    • 0 Wins = No rewards
    • 1 Win = 50 Gems
    • 2 Wins = 100 Gems and 1 Historic Booster pack
    • 3 Wins = 150 Gems and 1 Historic Booster pack
    • 4 Wins = 250 Gems and 1 Historic Booster pack
    • 5 Wins = 500 Gems and 2 Historic Booster packs

    • 7 Wins = 700 Gems and 3 Historic Booster packs

Flashback Premier Drafts

To celebrate Halloween, we're headed back to one of the most frightening planes in Magic's history: Innistrad. Both Crimson Vow and Midnight Hunt will be available on MTG Arena as Premier Flashback drafts for one week each, at the end of October.

Following our descent into Innistrad, we will bring back Pioneer Masters, creating an excellent opportunity for players to draft and collect staples for Pioneer.
