Don’t worry if you don’t own the cards; you don’t have to craft them.
Simply name this (invalid) deck ‘thewayisopen’, and you’ll receive 5000 XP and some exclusive sleeves.
How to redeem MTG Arena codes
There are two ways toredeem MTG Arena codes, and both are super easy. For the first method, open up the game on PC and click on the ‘Store’ tab at the top of the page.
From there, you’ll see a small oval text box in the top right corner, with ‘Redeem Code’ written inside (we’ve highlighted it in red in the picture above). Copy your code into the box, hit enter, and hey presto.
If you’d rather not boot up the game, you can also redeem codes by entering them into yourWizards of the Coast account page. Log in using your MTG Arena details, and on the right-hand side of your account dashboard, you’ll find a nice, big ‘Redeem a code’ box. Paste the code inside, click redeem, and you’re good to go.
Currently, you can’t redeem codes through the iOS and Android versions of the game. Instead, you’ll have to use your Wizards account page, or boot up the PC version of the game to unlock them.
Looking for theLost Caverns of Ixalan,Wilds of Eldraine, orMarch of the Machinecodes? There aren’t any! Simply log in to Arena, and the three free packs will be there in your inbox. Be sure to check this new feature regularly, chances are it’ll be your main way to collect free MTGA cards, Wildcards, or XP in future.
And, while we’re on that topic…
Are MTG Arena codes on the way out?
We seemto be in flux when it comes to MTG Arena codes right now. The codes above still work,and Wizards of the Coastdoes sometimes still release new ones as part of specific promotions.
For example, to promote the release ofMTG Lord of the Ringson MTG Arena, the company posed the “Speak, friend, and enter” riddle on its Twitter account – a riddle teasing the new Mastery XP code Mellor.
However, the introduction of the player inbox in December 2022 allows Wizards of the Coast to send rewards straight to the players, eschewing the need for any codes.
That’s why we didn’t get any new codes for anyMTG setthroughout 2023. It remains to be seen quite how this’ll affect new players(who used to be able to sign up for the game, drop 20 or 30 codes for a big beginner’s welcome, and immediately get to open up a few packs from all the latest releases).
In September 2023, the inbox system stopped working temporarily, but this was swiftly fixed, and we expect promo boosters, cosmetics, and XP gifts for all new MTG releases in 2024 to be delivered via the inbox.
How can I get more MTG Arena codes?
There arefourother ways to get your hands on additional working MTG Arena codes and items, beyond the main ones listed above. These are:
- Codes from physical MTG decks
- Promo codes
- Pre-release codes
- Secret Lair codes
Codes from physical MTG decks
However, you don’t have to rely on Wizards’ generosity to snag goodies. The physical Planeswalker decks released between the sets Guilds of Ravnica and Core Set 2021 each come with a code to unlock their cards in MTG Arena, so you can use all the same cards online as you do on the tabletop. These codes are one-time use only, though, so it’s best to buy new copies of the decks if you’re dead set on their digital counterparts.
These are all the physical MTG decks that include Arena codes:
- Basri Ket, Devoted Paladin
- Teferi, Timeless Voyager
- Liliana, Death Mage
- Chandra, Flame’s Catalyst
- Garruk, Savage Herald
- Vivien, Nature’s Avenger
- Chandra, Flame’s Fury
- Sorin, Vampire Lord
- Mu Yanling, Celestial Wind
- Ajani, Inspiring Leader
- Ashiok, Sculptor of Fears
- Elspeth, Undaunted Hero
- Rowan, Fearless Sparkmage
- Oko, the Trickster
- Jace, Arcane Strategist
- Gideon, the Oathsworn
- Domri, City Smasher
- Dovin, Architect of Law
- Vraska, Regal Gorgon
- Ral, Caller of Storms
TheMTG Starter Kitalso includes a code for its two decks, which can be redeemed by two different Arena players; granting both decks to you and a friend.
Be wary though, Commander and Challenger decksdon’tinclude MTG Arena codes, so don’t go buying those with the expectation of boosting your digital card collection.
MTG Arena promo codes
MTG Arena promo codesare special promotional codes, often handed out at tournaments, local game store events, or as part of giveaways by professional MTG players and streamers.
Wizards also sometimes includes codes in its MTG Arena newsletters, particularly around the release of a new set.
Occasionally, it’ll share a code via theMTG Arena Twitteraccount if something goes wrong on Arena, so keep an eye out if you spot technical troubles.
A recent (now-expired) code ‘CIRCUITMENDER’ after a period of downtime gave all users a free 1,000 XP, for instance.
MTG Arena pre-release codes
MTG Arena pre-release codescome with the decks you’ll get at official pre-release events for newMTG sets. If you’ve grabbed a deck at apre-release event, look inside your pack to find an Arena code. The rewards for these vary: you might find a cosmetic unlock, entry into a limited-run Arena event, or a handful of booster packs.
However, onlyonepre-release code of each set can be redeemed per MTG Arena account. So if you find yourself with a spare, why not do the honorable thing, and gift it to a friend, or stick it on Reddit for someone else to nab.
MTG Arena Secret Lair codes
MTG Arena Secret Lair codesare found in theMTG Secret Lairpremium boxed sets,and unlock exclusive cards and cosmetics. A pricey option, given the cost of each Secret Lair drop, but very chic.
