Magic: The Gathering and Wizards of the Coast’s annual partnership with Extra Life is underway! From October 28 to November 20, two bundles will be available in the MTG Arena store, which include brand-new cosmetics as well as new-to-MTG Arena cards! Collect borderless card styles for each card from our Squishful Thinking drop with Play-Doh and welcome Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer, and Academy Manufactor to MTG Arena for the first time—all while contributing to a great cause! All proceeds less transaction fees will be donated to Extra Life benefiting Seattle Children’s Hospital.
If you’d like to (virtually) join us live, tune in to the official Magic Twitch channel over the next week. From November 3–7, Wizards of the Coast employees will be taking over the channel to have as much fun as possible while raising funds for this campaign. The takeovers will culminate in an Extra Life Game Day Stream, happening November 8 from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. PT.
If you’d like to learn more about Extra Life, our 2025 campaign with them, and how you can contribute to helping treat millions of children in need—and have fun in the process—you can find those details here.
Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Arena Direct
(November 14–16)
The next Arena Direct is happening in just a couple weeks! Fresh from the dusty backwaters of Thunder Junction, competitors in this Arena Direct will be thrust into the bustling sprawl of Kamigawa! Players who enter will compete in matches of Best-of-One Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Sealed. The top hackers and slashers can win physical Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Draft Booster boxes!
Daylight: Saved
If you’re in the US, we hope you made good use of this winter’s legally mandated group time travel. If you had been planning to participate in any MTG Arena events in this brave, new, post-daylight saving time world, we encourage you to confirm the timings.
