The first Arena Direct event featuring Magic: The Gathering® | Marvel Super Heroes is happening June 30–July 5! Players will compete in Best-of-One matches of Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes Sealed for a variety of mighty prizes. Players can earn gems and MTG Arena packs for achieving three to six victories; and for this event, seven or more wins will net players Magic: The Gathering | Marvel Super Heroes Collector Booster boxes, while supplies last!

New Updates

With this release we are adding a new feature for Arena Direct events where they can "sell out" based on a limited number of entries. Once the event hits its entry limit, players will no longer be able to enter that event and its banner will move to the bottom of the event screen and indicate that the event has sold out. Players already entered in the event will still have until the end of the event's duration to finish their matches. This should greatly reduce the need for replacement event rewards.

We also have updated our terms and conditions around players using multiple MTG Arena accounts to enter Arena Direct events. Supporting multiple accounts has been a considerable challenge, and delays smooth prize fulfillment. Going forward, each player may enter Arena Direct events using only one Wizards Account. Entering one Arena Direct event across multiple accounts will be prohibited. Doing so constitutes a violation of the Direct Rules and may result in withholding all prizes. However, players will still be able to enter an event as many times as they would like using one Wizards Account.

Additionally, we are extending the duration of our Arena Direct events beginning with this release to provide more access to players whose schedules make it hard to participate on the weekends.

Magic Cards Delivered to My Door! How Does That Work?

After the MTG Arena event series ends, winners will receive an email with instructions for claiming their rewards. Winners will have 90 days from the end of the event to claim their rewards.

To claim rewards, players must complete the following required steps:

  1. Complete registration and identity verification of your eWallet account provided by our partner i-payout. This is to ensure you're eligible to receive the prize and to correctly track and file taxes.
  2. Place a free-of-charge order for your rewards and provide your shipping address to our partner Scalefast.

It may take up to three weeks for your order to ship after the estimated release date listed in your order confirmation email. We will keep you posted if there are any unexpected delays in the process.

What about Shipping Costs and Other Fees?

In most cases, all shipping costs will be covered free of charge. In some instances, there may be additional miscellaneous import fees for specific countries that we are unable to cover.

All rewards are subject to United States taxes, even if you live outside of the US. You may be able to recover these funds, but you will need to speak to a tax professional in your country.
