MAGIC: THE GATHERING ARENA – REWARD DISTRIBUTION & DROP RATE INFORMATION

Hello everyone! We (that’s Wizards of the Coast) put together this page to ensure that our players understand how reward distribution and rarity work in Magic: The Gathering Arena. We believe that informed players are happy players and are committed to giving you as much transparency into our game as possible.

Below, we’ve outlined the different types of certain rewards (virtual items and currency) you can earn in MTG Arena and their respective distribution and drop rates. From time to time, we may run special events or promotions that provide additional or different rewards than those outlined below. We’ll publish information about the distribution and drop rates for those special events here.

Note: Below the distribution or drop rates are listed in the format of N:M where N is the relative number in M instances. For example, a rarity distribution of 1:20 means that you will likely acquire 1 item of that rarity in 20 instances.

1 Mystical Archive card of any rarity appears in each Strixhaven booster pack, replacing a Common slot.

1 Praetor card from among the following (Sheoldred, the Apocalypse/Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider/Urabrask, Heretic Praetor/Jin-Gitaxis, Progress Tyrant) may replace the Rare slot of Phyrexia: All Will Be One limited booster packs, at a ratio of approximately 1:60.

Each Mythic Booster always has a Mythic Rare in the Rare slot, unless it's replaced with a Rare Wildcard.

Each Alchemy booster contains Uncommon, Rare, and Mythic Rare cards from the Alchemy set and Common cards from the related base set. Once you have collected a playset of all of the Rare cards in the Alchemy set, the Rare slot will pull from your uncollected Rares from the base set. The same is also true for Mythic Rares.

1 Shadows of the Past card of any rarity appears in each Shadows over Innistrad Remastered booster pack, replacing a common slot. Store packs can contain any Shadows of the Past card. A common or uncommon in this slot can upgrade to a rare at a rate of approximately 1:15 packs. Rares in this slot can upgrade to mythics at a rate of approximately 1:2.

Which Shadows of the Past cards appear in Shadows over Innistrad Remastered limited booster packs will depend based on which Shadows of the Past theme is being used. See the event page to learn which theme is currently being used in an event. For the Abominable All Stars! theme, a common or uncommon in this slot can upgrade to a mythic at a rate of approximately 1:15. There are no rares in this theme. For all other themes, a common or uncommon in this slot can upgrade to a mythic at a rate of approximately 1:15, and a rare in this slot can upgrade to a mythic at approximately 1:9. See this page for details on the contents of each theme.

March of the Machine: The Aftermath boosters will start pulling rares/mythics from March of the Machine after completing every rare/mythic from Aftermath.

1 Enchanting Tales card of any rarity appears in each Wilds of Eldraine booster pack, replacing a common slot. Uncommons in this slot can upgrade to rares at approximately 1:3. Rares in this slot can upgrade to mythics at a rate of approximately 1:5.

1 Common in Murders at Karlov Manor limited packs will upgrade to either a card from MKM's The List or a Special Guest at a rate of approximately 1:8. The List Commons in that slot upgrade to uncommons at a rate of approximately 1:3, Uncommons in that slot upgrade to Rares at approximately 1:7, and Rares in that slot upgrade to a Mythic from The List at approximately 1:1.6.

1 Breaking News card of any rarity appears in each Outlaws of Thunder Junction pack, replacing a common slot. Uncommons in this slot can upgrade to rares at approximately 1:3. Rares in this slot upgrade to mythics at a rate of approximately 1:5.

1 Mythic card from The Big Score may replace the Mythic in Outlaws of Thunder Junction store packs at a rate of approximately 1:5. 1 Common in Outlaws of Thunder Junction limited packs will upgrade to either a card from The Big Score or a Special Guest at a rate of approximately 1:5. The Big Score cards in this slot are replaced with a Special Guest at a rate of approximately 1:12.

1 card of any rarity from the New-to-Modern list appears in each Modern Horizons 3 pack and limited pack, replacing a common slot. Uncommons in this slot can upgrade to rares at approximately 1:4. Rares in this slot upgrade to mythics at a rate of approximately 1:10. 1 Common in Modern Horizons 3 packs and limited packs will upgrade to a Special Guest at a rate of approximately 1:64.

1 Modern Horizons 3 Commander card from among the following (Disa the Restless/Omo, Queen of Vesuva/Satya, Aetherflux Genius/Ulalek, Fused Atrocity/Azlask, the Swelling Scourge/Cayth, Famed Mechanist/Coram, the Undertaker/Jyoti, Moag Ancient) may replace a card of any rarity in Modern Horizons 3 limited packs at a rate of approximately 1:21. Modern Horizons 3 packs will start pulling mythics from the 8 Modern Horizons 3 Commander cards listed above after completing every mythic from Modern Horizons 3.

1 Common in Aetherdrift packs and limited packs will upgrade to a Special Guest at a rate of approximately 1:64.

1 Common in Tarkir: Dragonstorm packs and limited packs will upgrade to a Special Guest at a rate of approximately 1:60

Each Alchemy booster is related to a particular base set:

  • Alchemy: Innistrad - Innistrad: Crimson Vow.
  • Alchemy: Kamigawa – Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty.
  • Alchemy: New Capenna – Streets of New Capenna.
  • Alchemy: Dominaria – Dominaria United.
  • Alchemy: The Brothers’ War – The Brothers’ War.
  • Alchemy: Phyrexia – Phyrexia: All Will Be One.
  • Alchemy: Eldraine – Wilds of Eldraine.
  • Alchemy: Ixalan – Lost Caverns of Ixalan.
  • Alchemy: Karlov Manor – Murders at Karlov Manor.
  • Alchemy: Thunder Junction – Outlaws of Thunder Junction.
  • Alchemy: Bloomburrow – Bloomburrow
  • Alchemy: Duskmourn – Duskmourn: House of Horror
  • Alchemy: Aetherdrift – Aetherdrift

Wildcards redeem for any card you choose of the same rarity. One card in each rarity card slot (Common, Uncommon, and Mythic/Rare) may redeem for a Wildcard of the same rarity at the following expected rates:

# Rarity Rate
1 Common 1:3
2 Uncommon 1:5
3 Rare 1:30*
4 Mythic 1:30*

We understand that Wildcards are really helpful for players to round out their collections. Each Pack you open that does not redeem for a Wildcard of a particular rarity will increase the drop rate for Wildcards of that rarity for the next Pack. Once you acquire a Wildcard of that rarity from a Pack, the drop rates will reset to the base rate. The expected rate seen above represents that average number of packs needed to open to acquire 1 Wildcard of the respective rarity.

Golden Packs

Golden Packs are acquired for every 10 packs purchased from among packs that are of Standard-legal and/or Alchemy-legal sets. Each Golden Pack contains 6 Rares or Mythic Rares across Standard-legal sets that are also legal in Alchemy. At least one card per pack will be Mythic Rare from among those sets, 3 cards will be Rare or Mythic Rare from among those sets, and the final 2 cards will be Rare or Mythic Rare from the latest of those sets. Rares can upgrade to Mythic Rares at a rate of approximately 1:6. Golden Packs will not grant wildcards, but will advance the wildcard track.

Golden Packs will start pulling Rares and Mythic Rare from all Standard-legal sets after completing every rare and mythic from sets that are Standard and Alchemy legal.

MTG Arena 'WIN' Rewards

When you win a game in MTG Arena—any game—you’ll receive certain rewards. Below are the distribution and drop rates for the “win” rewards you may receive in MTG Arena.

Daily Win Reward:

Every day players can earn gold or individual card rewards (ICRs) when they win a match (up to 15 wins/reward instances) in any game mode with the exception of Play if you queue with a deck that is non-standard legal, Direct Challenge, and Bot Matches. Daily Win Bonuses are counted for wins that occur 24 hours from server reset (3AM PST). The table below outlines the reward(s) associated with each incremental win:

Win Number Gold ICR
1 250 0
2 100 0
3 100 0
4 100 0
5 0 1
6 50 0
7 0 1
8 50 0
9 0 1
10 50 0
11 0 1
12 25 0
13 0 1
14 25 0
15 0 1

The ICRs included in Daily Win Rewards are uncommon standard-legal cards*, each of which may upgrade to a rare card (1:10).

Many Rare ICRs (including those obtained from upgraded uncommon ICRs) may upgrade to a mythic rare, the rate of which is dependent on the location it was acquired:

  • Standard ICRs that upgrade from Rare to Mythic Rare are approximately at a rate of 1:8**.
  • Historic ICRs that upgrade from Rare to Mythic Rare are approximately at a rate of 1:8**.

Each Standard set is weighted equally.

This rate can fluctuate at a nominal rate based on cards that are removed to do card banning.

NOTE: Event and Daily Win ICRs have different rates. See the Event section to view Event ICR rates.

Set Mastery

The Set Mastery system is a way for players to receive in-game content through play. Players earn rewards based on their current Set Mastery level, including:  

  • Booster Packs
  • Orbs redeemable for Sleeves and Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Mythic Rare Card Styles from Tarkir: Dragonstorm.

The content made available through each specific Set Mastery may vary. Please refer to the appropriate Set Mastery for a full list of currently available rewards.

Set Mastery Level

A player’s Set Mastery level is based on the amount of experience they have earned through play. Players primarily earn experience by completing in-game quests and through weekly wins (up to fifteen; resets at 2AM PST). Weekly wins can be earned in any game mode; with the exception of Direct Challenge, and Bot Matches. Additional experience may be earned by limited time events or promotional items.

Extended Levels

For the Tarkir: Dragonstorm Set Mastery, players will be able to level past 70. All levels past level 70 will earn the player 1x Uncommon ICR that has a 5% upgrade rate.

Duration

Set Mastery spans the duration of a set release, starting when the applicable set releases on MTG Arena until the following set is released. Once a new Set Mastery is released, the previous Set Mastery will no longer be available. Players will keep any related content they earned; however, they will not be able to earn any additional rewards from previous Set Masteries once they are no longer available. Orbs that have been earned but not redeemed in the Mastery Emporium can still be placed on it and the appropriate rewards received.

Set Mastery Pass

Set Mastery Pass is an optional way for players to enhance the Set Mastery system. Players who purchase the Set Mastery Pass will be able to earn additional in-game currency or items through play by a secondary Set Mastery track. When purchased, players will receive rewards based on their Set Mastery level, including the Set Mastery Pass rewards from previously earned levels.

Set Mastery Pass Content

Set Mastery Pass allows players to earn in-game content including:

  • Gold
  • Gems
  • Booster Packs
  • Tarkir: Dragonstorm Mythic Rare Individual Card Rewards (ICRs)
  • Player Draft Token
  • Rare cards
  • Card Sleeves
  • Common and Uncommon Card Styles
  • Orbs redeemable for Sleeves and Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Mythic Rare Card Styles
  • Companions

The content made available through each specific Set Mastery Pass may vary. Please refer to the appropriate Set Mastery Pass for a full list of currently available rewards. All other MTG Arena terms apply.

The Set Mastery Track provides a variable number of current set booster packs based on the duration of the Set Mastery. Set Mastery length is variable and may be subject to change from set to set.

Event Rewards

An Event is a special game mode in MTG Arena. The structure, format, and rewards you can earn from an Event will vary. You can view what rewards you can earn by playing a particular Event on the Event’s page in MTG Arena. You can find a list of all current Events by selecting “Play” on the home screen and selecting the Event you wish to view. There you’ll find the distribution and drop rates of the Event rewards.

Certain Events also offer ICRs. Unless otherwise indicated in the Event description or Promotions page, Event Reward ICRs are either uncommon or rare standard-legal cards*.

Rare ICRs (including those obtained from upgraded uncommon ICRs) may upgrade to a mythic rare, the rate of which is dependent on the location it was acquired:

  • Standard ICRs that upgrade from Rare to Mythic Rare are approximately at a rate of 1:8**.
  • Historic ICRs that upgrade from Rare to Mythic Rare are approximately at a rate of 1:8**.
  1. Each Standard set is weighted equally.
  2. This rate can fluctuate at a nominal rate based on cards that are removed to do card banning.

MTG Arena Wildcard Rewards

Whenever you open a Pack in MTG Arena, you make progress toward earning Wildcards. We call this the “Wildcard Track”. You can view your Wildcard Track progress on the Packs page, found on the Navigation Bar. The Wildcard Track displays both an Uncommon Wildcard Track and the Rare/Mythic Wildcard Track:

These are displayed as two separate radials so that you can more easily understand the Wildcard Track reward cadences.

For each Pack you open, you earn 1 progress in both the Uncommon and the Rare/Mythic Wildcard Tracks. A WCR is triggered when you earn 6 progress on a track. When you fill your progress on the Wildcard Track, you earn a Wildcard Reward (“WCR”) and the Wildcard Track starts over again.

Additional information about the Wildcard Track:

  • Uncommon Wildcard Track: Each player starts MTG Arena with 3 progress in the Uncommon Wildcard Track, so you can expect to earn your first uncommon WCR sooner than Rare/Mythic WCRs. That means you’ll earn your first Uncommon WCR after you open your third Pack.
  • Rare/Mythic Wildcard Track: You’ll earn Rare WCRs at a greater frequency (4X) than Mythic WCRs. We’ve found that Rare WCRs are most needed by players to round out their collection, so we’ve created a system that redeems 4 Rare WCRs in a row before you will redeem your Mythic WCR.

MTG ARENA VAULT REWARDS SYSTEM

The Vault is an additional reward system that is triggered by progress. Players earn Vault Progress Points when they acquire a fifth copy of a particular common or uncommon card. For each card you acquire after your fourth copy, that card is converted into Vault Progress Points according to its rarity:

Rarity of Duplicate Card Progress Points
Uncommon 3
Common 1

The Vault opens when you reach 1000 Vault Progress Points and unlocks:

  • 1 Mythic Wildcard
  • 2 Rare Wildcards
  • 3 Uncommon Wildcards

Note: the Vault is hidden until it has filled. When viewable, it can be found on the Packs screen.

If we make any changes to drop rates, we’ll be sure to post the new numbers here. Thanks for stopping by, and be sure to share your thoughts and questions with us on the forums.

Duplicate Protection

Duplicate Protection is an additional reward system that is triggered by progress. When players would acquire a fifth copy of a particular rare or mythic rare card, the system will replace it with a rare or mythic rare card you have less than four copies of in your collection or gems depending on the circumstance: Booster Packs (from the Store, Mastery System, etc.):

  • If you open a rare or mythic rare card that you don't have four copies of, you receive the card.
  • If you would open a rare or mythic rare card that you already have four copies of, the system will automatically replace it with a different card of the same rarity from that set.
  • If you've collected all the rares and/or mythic rares in the set, the card will be replaced with Gems: 20 Gems for rares, 40 Gems for mythic rares.

Limited Packs (Drafts and Sealed):

  • Duplicate protection is not applied when you open a 14-card pack in a Limited Event - you will still see and be able to pick any rare or mythic rare card, even if you already have four copies of it in your collection.
  • Once you have finished with your Draft picks or opened your Sealed packs, the system will convert any extra copies you may have received. Rares/mythic rares will become Gems, and commons/uncommons will go towards the Vault.
  • Extra copies of cards will still be a part of your limited card pool for deckbuilding and participating in the event.

Individual Card Rewards (ICRs):

  • If you receive a rare/mythic rare ICR you already have four copies of,the card will be replaced with Gems: 20 Gems for rares, 40 Gems for mythic Rares.
  • If your receive an uncommon ICR that's upgraded to a rare or mythic rare, and you already already have four copies of the upgraded ICR, the card will be replaced with Gems: 20 Gems for Rares, 40 Gems for Mythic Rares.
  • If you receive an Uncommon ICR and you already have four copies of it, the card will go towards the Vault.
  • Unless otherwise indicated in the Event description or Promotions page, Event Reward ICRs are either uncommon or rare standard-legal cards*.
