Midweek Magic is a weekly event taking place Tuesdays to Thursdays in MTG Arena where players can enjoy casual games of online Magic in a variety of formats with no entry cost. Players can earn individual card rewards (ICRs) and in-game cosmetics for wins.

Midweek Magic began as FNM at Home in March of 2020, developed to keep the fun of Friday Night Magic events alive when players couldn't visit their local game stores. Thankfully, in-store play slowly resumed in many locations, and Friday Night Magic returned.

We didn't want to lose the fun and community around FNM at Home, so we updated our FNM at Home event to take place from Tuesdays to Thursdays and renamed it Midweek Magic. Now, you can enjoy Magic during the week on MTG Arena and then connect with your friends at your local game store for fun, in-person Friday Night Magic events, too!

Midweek Magic Schedule

Midweek Magic events begin on Tuesdays at 2 p.m. PT and end on Thursdays at 2 p.m. PT (UTC -07:00).

  • February 25–27: Standard Pauper
    Bring a 60-card Standard deck that contains only commons and basic lands. Look for some common ground with all those cards you've drafted and build something new!
  • March 4–6: Into the Future*
    The latest set of Alchemy cards is here, and it's time to hit the laboratory! To get things started, we've arranged a few sample decks that will get you off and running. Give them a try, and you just might find the seed for your next masterpiece!
  • March 11–13: Slow Start
    Bring your Alchemy-legal decks! Going first is always such a treat, but we all have to go second sometimes. To help smooth things out, the player who goes first will have their first land enter the battlefield tapped. Just take it easy for a turn!
  • March 18–20: Standard Cascade
    Bring your 60-card Standard deck. The first time you cast a spell each turn, you'll get to cast another less expensive card from your library without paying its mana cost. What a bargain!
